Map of Jan Mayen

Gouwenaerbåen (English: Gouwenaer Reef) is a 10 m (33 ft) shoal or reef southeast of Eggøya, on the southern coast of the island of Jan Mayen.[1] It is named after the Dutch seafarer Jacob de Gouwenaer,[1] who was master of the Orangienboom in 1614,[1] when he had first come upon the island (although he had been preceded by another Dutch expedition as well as a French one the same year). His name had originally been attached to Rekvedbukta.[1]
