Talk:Gulf St Vincent

Correct name

Why is this article called "Gulf Saint Vincent" and not "Gulf of Saint Vincent"? According to Matthew Flinders it's called the Gulf of Saint Vincent, but more recently it seems to be called Gulf Saint Vincent as well, even on some government websites. Is there any particular reason for this? --ThirdEdition 01:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

It's variably called "Gulf St Vincent", "St Vincent's Gulf" and "Gulf of Saint Vincent". "Gulf of Saint Vincent" is the archaic form, whilst "Gulf Saint Vincent" appears to be the most common. In addition to being labelled as such on maps and by government agencies, Encyclopædia Britannica uses "Gulf Saint Vincent".--cj | talk 07:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

The correct name is St. Vincent's Gulf

Referral to charts drawn up by the Surveyor General Colonel William Light in 1836 show it to be St.Vincent's Gulf. The Map is in the Ferguson collection Map F512. National Library website http://nla.gov.au/nla,map f512. Curiously 'Gulf St Vincent' came in in recent years and has been taken up in some circles, there is no place called 'Gulf St Vincent, or for that matter 'Gulf of St. Vincent.'A quick referral to official charts indicate this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southnous (talk • contribs) 2010-01-11T02:36:59

Westernmost point?

I have a question regarding the official extent of this gulf. What is the westernmost point on York Peninsula that marks the opening of the gulf? --Danimations (talk) 09:29, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Danimations. Coincidentally, I have just returned from that part of the world, and wondered the same thing. This and related articles (citing this and another publication not online) suggest that the line is at Troubridge Point. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:11, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

What formed it?

The article describes its location, its recent history, and what lives there. The article would benefit from a description of what formed it geologically. 182.239.148.72 (talk) 01:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
