“St Croix Island is an island in Algoa Bay, 7 km east of Coegasmond. The name is the French for ‘St Cross’and has supplanted the Portuguese Santa Cruz, Ilheo de Santa Cruz, ‘island of the Holy Cross’, bestowed by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488.” - Chris Smit, 2024/09/26

“'Algoa Bay is a large inlet on the Indian Ocean, between Cape Padrone and Cape Recife, on which Port Elizabeth is situated. Named Angra da Roca by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, subsequently renamed Bahia da Lagoa, which was corrupted to Algoa Bay. Of Portuguese origin, the name means 'marsh bay', (SA Place Names)” - Chris Smit, 2024/08/13
