Located at the southern entrance to Agamemnon Channel, this webcam looks west towards Nelson Island - Fearney Point/bluffs, and Nelson Rock. Texada Island is visible in the distance. The Agamemnon Channel joins the Strait just in front of Nelson Island.
The Agamemnon Channel was named in 1860 by Captain George Henry Richards in honour of the 64-gun battleship HMS Agamemnon. She was commanded by Horatio Nelson, for whom the adjacent Nelson Island was named. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Agamemnon_(1781) The Southernmost part of the island is Fearney Point, named after Nelson's bargeman William fearney who took charge of the swords of surrendered Spaniards during the Battle of Cape St Vincent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Island_(British_Columbia)
