History
Commander Rochfort Maguire (Great Britain, 1854, map facing p. 188) applied the name "Moore's Harbor" to the area just S of Plover Point where he wintered the H.M.S. Plover in 1852-53. The subsequent 1853 British Admiralty (Brit. Adm.) Chart 2164 used the name "Port Moore." It commemorates Commander Thomas E. L. Moore, Royal Navy (RN) (Leffingwell, 1919, p. 97).
