History of Dry Pass

Local name reported about 1903 by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS). "It is called 'dry' because during the ebb of large tides the narrows are dry." It was called Klawak Passage by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) on Chart 8050 in 1902, which is the name of a passage 50 miles to the south. The name El Capitan Passage was suggested in 1904 by E. F. Davidson, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), because of the nearby El Capitan marble quarries.
