Burgoyne Bay : ウィキペディア英語版 | Burgoyne Bay
Burgoyne Bay is located at the southern end of Saltspring Island in British Columbia, Canada. The shores of the bay are part of the Mount Maxwell Ecological Reserve. The bay is a sidewater of Sansum Narrows, which separates Saltspring from Vancouver Island. It was named by Captain Richards in 1859 after Victoria Cross holder Hugh Talbot Burgoyne. Burgoyne was serving on HMS ''Ganges'', the flagship of the Royal Navy's Pacific Station at the time, and Richards named many features during his survey after people or ships of the station; for instance the next bay along the island, Fulford Harbour, was named after the captain of ''Ganges'', and a local settlement named after the ship itself. ==References==
