Cape Mudge
Cape Mudge is located on the south end of Quadra Island, which lies off the mideastern coast of Vancouver Island. This cape, that juts into notoriously hazardous waters, is named after Zachary Mudge (1770-1852), a first lieutenant of Vancouver's Discovery; Mudge's name is attached to several coastal features.1 Today, the cape is part of We-wai-kai lands, whose name for the cape is Yaculta.2
