Stubbs Island (50˚36'00" 126˚49'00" S of E end of Malcolm I, SE end of Queen Charlotte Str). Named about 1860 after Lt Edward Stubbs, who served on the Pacific Station aboard HMS Alert, 1860–61. He retired from the RN in 1872 and reached the rank of capt, retired, in 1878. Jim Borrowman’s Stubbs Island Whale Watching, the first whale-watching company in BC, founded in 1980, took its name from this feature.
