Hûb Rochdol

The easternmost arm of Caew-i-Cheldolath was called Hûb Rochdol, "Horsehead Bay", by the Elves of Evermist, because of the distinctive shape of its shoreline. The Jäämiehet and Merimetsästäjät, who had no experience with such animals, named it Venemiehen Satama, "Boatman's Harbor". The bay offered excellent harborage for whaling vessels where its eastern shore (that portion which would be the horse's nose and mouth) provided a wide, pebbly beach and shallow water where boats were easily launched or landed. While subject to ice-floes and smaller bergs, Venemiehen Satama was too shallow in depth for the great bergs in which the Merimetsästäjät lived.
