Taui Bay (Russian: Тауйская губа; Tauyskaya Guba) is a body of water in the Sea of Okhotsk off the coast of the Magadan Oblast in Russia.
It is some 130 km (80 mi) wide and 75 km (46 mi) deep, and is enclosed by the Koni Peninsula with Odyan Bay and Zavyalov Island on its eastern side and by Spafaryev Island on its southwestern end.
Taui Bay was frequented by American, French, and Russian whaleships hunting bowhead and gray whales between 1849 and 1885.
[3] These ships usually sought shelter to obtain wood and water, flense whales, or boil oil in Fabius Harbor, between the mainland and Fabius Island (Ostrov Nedorazumeniya),[4] or Jeannette Harbor (Nagayeva Bay), under Jeannette Point (Mys Chirikova).
[7] A ship found casks with provisions and pieces of the wreck to the west of the bay about ten days later.
