“The Haro Strait lies between Vancouver Island and the principal islands composing the archipelago. * * In the Haro Strait, Cordova Bay on the western or Vancouver shore offers good anchorage. On Stewart Island, which helps to form the eastern side of the strait, there are snug and land-locked harbors, easily accessible to steamers; and among the Saturna group—the western *boundary of the strait where it enters the Gulf of Georgia—there is good shelter for a fleet, accessible either to sailing-vessels or steamers.”Description of Haro channel by Capt. Richards, British Boundary Commissioner.[77]
