Weeteeam Bay


Weeteeam Bay (52˚31'00" 129˚01'00" SW side of Aristazabal I). Named after a reserve and former fishing camp on the NW corner of this bay belonging to the Kitasoo First Nation, a Tsimshian-speaking people who settled at Klemtu on Swindle I in the 1870s. This is probably the Bay of Disappointment of US fur trader Joseph Ingraham, so named in 1791 because it proved to be uninhabited and an inferior anchorage.
