Named what? edit

In the 1840s the Henty brothers established a whaling station at Point Bunbury on the western end of the bay, which was named by a Captain Loutit in 1845, after he had sheltered from a storm there in his ship, the Apollo.

This had me perplexed. I couldn’t tell if the bay or the whaling station was named by Loutit, nor whether he had named it Point Bunbury or Apollo. But the Dec2017 text is clear: so reinserted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MBG02 (talkcontribs) 17:10, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
