Link These Names, Question 55

[gh]

Gulf Of Cortes, Vermillion Sea

[wineturtle]

Baja California is the shore of both these areas where whales go to summer.

Edit to add:Thinking about it I believe it's correctly called the Sea of Cortez,

[gh]

Not when one is speaking of Hernán Cortés.

[gh]

But regardless of spelling, that's not the answer

I'm missing something here. I thought the Gulf of Cortez (aka the Cortez Sea) IS the Vermillion Sea, i.e, the Gulf of California.

[gh]

We could waltz around this forever. The question as given to me (and I haven't researched it) is that both Gulf of Cortes and the Vermillion Sea are FORMER names of the Gulf of California
