The Schiffsbach is a creek in the northeast of the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It rises the western flank of the Bellingshausen Dome (on the German map of 1984 as Collinseiskappe labeled) north of the southern Collinsmoräne and flows into tortuous and sometimes anastomosierendem course roughly parallel to the moraine to the southeast, first by the North Passage and then over the Artigas Beach with three Poor in the ship's bay, a side bay of theMaxwell Bay .

As part of two German expeditions to the Fildes Peninsula in 1981/82 and 1983/84 under the direction of Dietrich Barsch (Geographical Institute of the University of Heidelberg ) and Gerhard Stäblein (Geomorphological Laboratory of the Free University of Berlin ), the brook was together with numerous others until then unnamed geographic features of the Fildes peninsula and renamed the Scientific Committee on Antarctic research (Scientific Committee on Antarctic research, SCAR) reported.
