		Gough Island was discovered by a Portuguese seaman and named Goncalo Alvarez after him, probably in 1505 or 1506.
		In 1946 commerce came to Gough Island when an exploratory fishing investigation from Cape Town proved the inshore waters to be rich in crawfish; from 19 ships of a company, now Tristan Investments (Pty.) Ltd., have exploited this resource in the shallow seas about all four islands.
		The old base in the Glen, while ideal for access to the central mountains of the island and adjoining the best landing beach, proved too shut in by the steep walls of the valley to be ideal for meteorological observations and in 1963 a new station was constructed at Transvaal Bay on the south coast.
