Description From Owner:

Hardy Island - After Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, baronet, RN. Hardy was captain of HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, in which Lord Nelson died in his arms.
Irvines Landing - After Charles Irvine, who became the first postmaster here in 1897 and left in 1904.
Malaspina Strait - After Captain Alexandro Malaspina, an Italian who, with two ships of the Spanish Navy, explored widely in the Pacific from 1789 to 1794.
He sailed along the BC coast in 1791 but never entered the waters east of Vancouver Island.
For political reasons the Spaniards imprisoned Malaspina not long after his voyage. He was liberated and banished to Italy in 1803, where he died in 1809.
Sakinaw Lake - From the Sechelt Indian word for 'neck' perhaps referring to the narrow neck of land between the end of the lake and the sea.
Agamemnon Channel - After HMS Agamemnon, sixty-four guns, commanded in 1793 by Captain Horatio Nelson.
