Mount St Patrick


Mount St Patrick (50˚40'39" 128˚19'37" N side of San Josef Bay, NW tip of Vancouver I). Capt James Hanna, the first fur trader to reach the PNW, in 1785, returned the following year and made a chart of NW Vancouver I, on which he gave the name St Patrick’s Bay to what is now San Josef Bay. Mt St Patrick (422 m) was named in 1947 to honour this historic reference. Nearby St Patrick Ck also owes its name to Hanna’s early map.
