The name Hebe Haven

Dear Brisdude, This year is the 50th Anniversary of HHYC, somehow I managed to allow myself to be appointed in charge of producing an anniversary book for the club (due at the publishers in a few weeks). Too many G&Ts I think! I wanted, therefore, to follow-up on the possible connection between Pak Sha Wan and HMS Hebe, with the English name for the bay perhaps going back to the fact that HMS Hebe sheltered in Pak Sha Wan during a typhoon....hence "Hebe Haven". I would really like to include this in the 50th Anniversary book. Could you please, therefore, let me know the original source (or any other historical references) that support this possible connection. It was also mentioned by "Jacobus" - so if you could contact me as well, that would be most appreciated.

Best Regards,
Tingwall
