Maritime Names of Washington

Marnames

By Richard W. Blumenthal

MARITIME NAMES of Washington is a historical text on Washington State maritime names. It includes every named island, bay, point, inlet, pass, harbor, channel, strait, canal, passage, peninsula, rock, head, bank, bight, cove, lagoon, spit, sound, canal and shoal identified on current nautical charts. Variants and more obscure local names are frequently included as well as historical names that did not stand the test of time.

The book generally identifies the individual who named the place, when, why and for whom. In many cases, it also identifies the chart where the name first appeared.
