History of Coronation Island

Named by Captain George Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN), on September 22, 1793, in honor of "the anniversary of the coronation of George III" (Wagner, 1937, p.382). Captain Vancouver (1798, v.2, p.423) wrote, "the day of our passing it having been the anniversary of that happy event." The name was transliterated into Russian as "Ostrov Koronotsii" by Captain M.D. Tebenkov (1852, map 9).
