GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): "Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel ""Shoyo"". Year of discovery: 2000. History: Named after George Eugene Belknap (1832-1903), a sea surveyor, explorer and later, rear admiral in the U.S. Navy. His achievements included the first sounding lines across the North Pacific Ocean, one of the first isolated seamounts (Erben Seamount) discovered and sounded out between California and Honolulu, first discovery of an oceanic trench - that being the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, first soundings in the Aleutian Trench, first soundings in the Peru-Chile Trench, and the first soundings on what has come to be called the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Perhaps more importantly, while in command of the USS Tuscarora in 1874, he was the pioneer in the use of Sir William Thomson's piano-wire sounding machine." |
