It is part of the Coral Sea and, administratively, is within the City of Townsville.[1] Entrance to the bay is marked by the Cape Cleveland Light and in earlier years by the Bay Rock Light on Magnetic Island. HistoryCleveland Bay was named by Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook on the HM Bark Endeavour on 6 June 1770, probably in honour of John Clevland, Secretary to the Admiralty 1751-1763. However, Cook may have named the bay after the Cleveland Hills near his birthplace of Marton in Yorkshire, England.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|7413|Cleveland Bay|accessdate=14 January 2016}} {{1stVoyageCookAus}} 2 : Bays of Queensland|North Queensland |
