The Shirreff Cove ( in Argentina Caleta Noto called) is a small cove and a natural harbor on the north coast of Livingston Iceland in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located immediately southwest of Cape Shirreff .
The British navigator Edward Bransfield named it in 1820 after Captain William Henry Shirreff (1785–1847), then in command of the British Pacific Fleet. Bransfield's Bay was assigned based on the map published in 1822 by Captain George Powell (1794-1824). The namesake of the Argentine name is Juan Noto, who died on September 15, 1976 together with ten other passengers or crew members in the crash of a Lockheed P-2 Neptune on Mount Friesland .
