Port Hamilton, a spacious, well-sheltered harbour, formed by three islands of the Nan-how group, 30 miles S. of Corea and 45 NE. of Quelpart (q.v.). It was annexed by Britain as a prospective coaling station in 1885, but abandoned in the following year. It was discovered and named by Belcher in 1845.
