...Brad,
Thanks for this interesting summary. I looks like the modern situation hasn’t really gotten much better! Now there seems to be disagreement between charts and other sources as to where Point Wild is. While all modern sources I have seen place Cape Belsham as the next promontory to the west of Point Wild there are two possible placements for these. The Wikipedia entry for Elephant Island shows 2 maps that disagree with each other. I have attached cropped images from the various sources
