Malcolm Island
Map
Malcolm Island is separated from the northeastern shores of Vancouver Island by the Broughton Strait, opposite Port McNeill.
The island was named after Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm (1758-1838), and at the turn of the 19th century it became the site of an attempted colonization by Finnish socialists, who formed the village of Sointula.1
