Anchorage is a small village in the British Columbia area. It' on Baynes Sound on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island. The origins of the name "Fanny Bay" have not been agreed upon, and none of the various statements - whether comic, romatic, sceptical, historic or soundtrack.
It was first published on British Columbia map in 1913 and was formally adopted by the British Columbia authorities in 1923. The assumption was made on the basis of the British admiralty cards of the 1860', which were taken from the polls of the Royal Navy cent. Richards. The geographer A.B. McNeill noted in his volume Origin of Station Names, Esquimalt and Nanaimo Division that "...Fanny Bay was called after a lake master who was living in the area".
Unfortunately, McNeill like Captain Richards provides no data or other supportive information[3] A common and tenacious indigenous doctrine says that Fanny Bay was called in 1792 by Captain George Vancouver. Vancouver's sea maps and magazines, however, only describe the eastern side of the next river, the Strait of Georgia (including the island of Texada).
All he had was a broad view of the east bank of Vancouver Island between Nanaimo and Comox, and his maps left out some neighboring isles and other features[3] Therefore, it seems most unlikely that Captain Vancouver would have been able to give that name. "His name is Fanny Bay." "in Fanny Bay."
