Rugged Harbor: see New Plymouth. 



RUGGED ISLAND: island about 3 mi. long and 

 2 mi. wide, lying W. of Livingston I., in the South 

 Shetland Is.; in 62°36'S., 61°17'W. This island was 

 known to both the American sealers and the Brit-

 tending about 1 mi. in a NW. direction from Pin 

 Pt., Livingston I., in the South Shetland Is.; in 

 62°37'S., 59°50'W. These rocks were known to 

 early sealers in the area and are roughly charted 

 on Powell's map of 1822. They were accurately 

 charted in 1935 by DI personnel on the Discovery
