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]
