The Greene Inlet is a bay at the western end of South Georgia . Your entrance is between Croxall Point and Cape Parjadin .
The name Deep Inlet was probably given to the bay by Lieutenant Commander John M. Chaplin (1888-1977) of the Royal Navy , surveying officer on the RRS Discovery when surveying the area around Undine Harbor in 1926. The South Georgia Survey kept this name deemed unsuitable and renamed it between 1951 and 1952. The new namesake is Captain Daniel Greene from New Haven , who in 1790 commanded one of the first US sealers to head for the waters around South Georgia.
