{{Coord|54|57|N|136|49|E|display=title|region:RU_type:waterbody}}Lebyazhya Bay ({{lang-ru|Лебя́жья губа́}}) is a small bay that indents the south side of Feklistova Island, one of the Shantar Islands, in the western Sea of Okhotsk. Its entrance is {{convert|11.3|km|sp=us}} wide and it is {{convert|5.6|km|sp=us}} deep. There are three small bays at its head: Enegelma Road to the west, Soboleva to the north, and Rosseta to the east. A small island, Sukhotina, lies to its southeast. In the spring and summer it is host to a small nesting colony of thick-billed murre.[1] A number of streams of fresh water flow down the hills into the bay. Spring tides rise {{convert|6.5|m|sp=us}} while neaps rise {{convert|2.4|m|sp=us}}.[2]

History

Between 1852 and 1885, American whaleships anchored in the bay — particularly Soboleva at its head — to stow down or boil oil, flense whales, and obtain wood and water or shelter from storms. They referred to the anchorage itself as Feklistova Harbor.[3][4] The ship Lexington, of Nantucket, reported sixteen other whaleships anchored in Feklistova Harbor, of which five were boiling oil; seven more were seen coming in.[5]

The schooner E. L. Frost (141 tons), of Honolulu, was left in the bay for the winter of 1860-1861. She served as tender to the bark Benjamin Rush (385 tons), also of Honolulu, during the seasons of 1860 and 1861.[6][7]
