Charted by the German Antarctic Expedition under Filchner, 1911-12, who named it for Walter Slossarczyk, third officer of the expedition ship Bay (now Smaaland Cove, q.v.) were erroneously transposed on charts of this area. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the name Slossarczyk Bay is not known locally and that this feature is best known as Doubtful Bay. Despite the undoubted priority of Filchner's naming, the name Doubtful Bay is approved in order to conform with local usage.
