Mount Dick

Mount Dick (49˚30'19" 124˚09'38" S end of Texada I, Str of Georgia). The origin of this name is not known. The suggestion that it commemorates long-serving BC mines inspector Archibald Dick (1842–1915), who was born in Scotland and came to Nanaimo in 1866, cannot be correct, as Mt Dick (347 m) appears on an Admiralty chart published in 1865 and was presumably named by the RN’s Capt George Richards, who surveyed the area in 1860 aboard HMS Plumper.
