Sivuch'i Rocks

The Sivuch'i Rocks (Russian: Острова Сивучьи Камни, Ostrova Sivuch'i Kamni) are a group of barren islets and rocks on the eastern side of Uda Bay, in the western Sea of Okhotsk.

A 79 m (259 ft) high pillar rock lies just to the southwest of the latter of the two islets.

[2] American whaleships and boat crews cruised for bowhead whales around the rocks between 1855 and 1874.

[3] On the night of 11 October 1858, the bark Ocean Wave (380 tons), under Captain Hiram Baker, of New Bedford, was wrecked on one of the rocks during a gale.
