History of Latouche Island

Named in 1794 by Captain George Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN), probably "after the famous naval commander Latouche-Treville, of France" (Wagner, 1937, p. 394). It was called "Foot Island" in 1787 by Captain Nathaniel Protlock, Royal Navy (RN), because of its shape. Its Eskimo name was reported by Martin Sauer in 1802 as "Ostrov Khlikakhlik" "Khlikakhlik Island." The Eskimo name probably means "island."
