The arch running under the Admiralty Islands (see also previous image), taken from a boat. I'm not sure if this is called Admiralty Arch. Well, on his return to England, Lt Lidgbird Ball was promoted to Captain and later to Rear Admiral, so I guess his 'sucking up' to head office with the names paid off! :-)

Off the northern corner of Lord Howe Island, the Admiralty Islands were named by Lt Lidgbird Ball when he discovered Lord Howe Island in 1788. It seems he was keen on promotion, as he had already named Lord Howe Island after the First Lord of the Admiralty. View large. A closer view of the arch in my next image.
