    Brad,

            The Wikipedia page you reference Wikipedia entry for Elephant Island has 2 maps on it. The first is consistent with Chart 29104 but the second is not. Nor is Chart 29014 consistent with the Joint Services Expedition 1970 chart which you had posted. Nor is it consistent with the coordinates 61°06'S, 54°52'W for Point Wild given on this Wikipedia page or the location of the monument which I argued from photos appears to be on the easternmost of the 3 promontories. Please take a careful look at the cropped images I attached to my post http://fer3.com/arc/m2.aspx/Updated-Transcript-Worsleys-Log-Stuart-jan-2017-g37975  and you'll see 2 instances of each possible placement. It seems to me that Chart 29104 has it wrong! Please let me know if you agree,

    Regards,

    Robin
