HistoryThis island was examined by Joseph Whidbey under Captain Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN), on June 11, 1794. It was perhaps named by him or Vancouver for William Bligh, 1754-1817, Royal Navy (RN), the master of His (Her) Majesty's Ship (HMS) Resolution on Captain James Cook's third voyage (Vancouver, 1798, v. 3, p. 163). This is the same Captain Bligh associated with the famous mutiny of the HMS Bounty in 1789.
