Turner Reef

Turner Reef (54˚10'00" 133˚07'00" W of Lepas Bay, off NW end of Graham I, QCI). Named in 1907 by Capt Frederick Learmonth of the survey vessel Egeria, after James Turner, 2nd mate of the Queen Charlotte, which passed along this coastline in 1787 under Capt George Dixon. Dixon was an early fur trader and one of the first Europeans to realize that the Queen Charlottes were not part of the mainland. He named the archipelago after his ship.
