O'Cain Point is a point lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of
Duthoit Point on the east side of
Nelson Island, in the
South Shetland Islands. The name O'Cain's Island, after the American sealing vessel
O'Cain (Captain
Jonathan Winship) from Boston, MA, was applied by the Stonington sealers in 1820-21 to Nelson Island, but this name did not become established. O'Cain Point was applied by the
United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1961 to preserve the American name in the area.
