History of Montague Island

This island was named "Montagu" by Captain James Cook, RN, on May 18, 1778, for John Montagu, Earl of Sandwiche, the son of Viscount Hinchinbroke (Wagner, 1937, p. 398). It was called "Isla de Quiros" or "Quiros' Island" by the Spaniards in the late 1700's. The Eskimo name, published by Lieutenant Sarichev (1826, map 5), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), was "Ostrov Tsukli," or "Tsukli Island."
