Golfo Nuevo

The bight was named Bahía Sin Fondo ("Bottomless Bay"; French: Baie Sans Fond or Sansfond) by Ferdinand Magellan when he visited it in 1520. In the 18th century, Welsh colonists renamed it Bahía Nueva (Welsh: Bae Newydd), whence its current name. It was also sometimes known as Bahía de San Matías ("Saint Matthew's Bay"). The gulf was surveyed by Robert Fitzroy in HMS Beagle in 1834. Golfo Nuevo was also the scene of a series of mysterious submarine contacts in 1958 and 1960.^[2][3][4][5]
