Bones Bay Bones Bay is a bay and former locality on the north side of West Cracroft Island in the Johnstone Strait region of the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, on Clio Channel. ==Name origin== The name Bones Bay is believed to have derived from a visit by a boat, believed to be the HMS ''Amethyst'', carrying Lord Dufferin, then Governor-General of Canada, and his wife which carried the viceregal couple on a voyage up the coast to Metlakatla in 1876. According to one of the crew, a Patrick Riley, the ''Amethysts crew performed regularly as a troupe of "minstrels", white people made up in blackface, who provided entertainment for shipmates and visitors, and the name likely commemorates a performance in these waters. Minstrel Island and nearby Sambo Point nearby are related names.〔(BC Names/GeoBC entry "Minstrel Island (island)" )〕 Another version of the name comes from the founder of the Bones Bay Cannery, Jack Dorman, who is the namesake of nearby Dorman Island.〔(BC Names "Dorman Island" )〕
