We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |

Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Spaniards Bay, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
