Petre Bay
Bay along the west coast of Chatham Island, New Zealand
Petre Bay is a large bay which comprises about half of the west coast of Chatham Island, the largest island in New Zealand's Chatham Islands archipelago. It is some 20 kilometres (12 mi) in extent, and contains the far smaller Waitangi Bay, where the island group's largest settlement, Waitangi is located.
The bay is named after Lord Petre, a director of the New Zealand Company.[1]
