Some of the land making up the island had previously been discovered by Captain James Cook, who believed that it was still part of the mainland.

He believed that it was mearly an inlet and sailed into the mouth, down the Juan Da Fuca Straights, around the southern tip of the island, up the Georgia Straights, following the coast line of the island, and back into the open pacific ocean.
