GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): "Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel ""Takuyo"". Year of discovery: 2001. History: Named after Daniel Ammen (1820-1898), a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy. He served in coast survey duty for the Navy. Later, he served as the chief of the Bureau of Navigation (1871-1878), which enforced laws relating to the construction, equipment, operation, inspection, safety, and documentation of merchant vessels. The USS Tuscarora made over 500 ocean floor soundings and temperature readings in the northwest Pacific (including the area of this feature) when Ammen was the chief of the Bureau of Navigation." |
