Editing Walvis Bay (section)

== Etymology ==
The Dutch referred to it as {{lang|nl|Walvisch Baye}} and the English as ''Whale Bay''. In its eventual formal incorporation, it was named ''Walfish Bay'', which was changed to ''Walvish Bay'', and ultimately to ''Walvis Bay''. It has also been referred to as ''Walwich Bay''<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=vcwNAAAAQAAJ&q=walwich&pg=PR1 ''Narrative of a voyage to the South Seas''] Charles Medyett Goodridge, Hamilton and Adams, 1832, page 16</ref> or ''Walwisch Bay''.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Q9wXAAAAYAAJ&q=+Walwisch&pg=PA337 ''The World of Waters or A Peaceful Progress o'er the Unpathed Sea''], Fanny Osborne, R.
