Dear UK Hydrographic Office ,
Many years ago the Bay off of Gibraltar and Algeciras was named on
Hydrographic charts, including Admiralty Charts, as the Bay of
Algeciras'
That was changed some time ago to the 'Bay of Giraltar'
Can you please provide details of the information held by the
Hydrographic Office that led to the change of name
Yours Sincerly,
david schiller
