Table Bay
Table Bay was promptly named "Aguada de Saldanha" (Saldanha's watering stop) by Portuguese 16th-century cartographers. In 1601 a Dutch seafarer and cartographer, Joris van Spilbergen identified a bay further to the north of the Cape as "Aguada de Saldanha". Henceforth this location became known as "Saldanha Bay" and the place where Saldanha anchored was renamed "Table Bay".
