Thetis Island, in Esquimalt Harbour
The tiny Thetis Island appears on an early map of Esquimalt Harbour, all but smothered,
as it most certainly is today, by naval infrastructure. It was the site of a navy
coal store.
This 1859 despatch notes that it was part of
Lot 53,
which was
sold in 5 acre lots with the exception of Thetis Island itself, which consists of
only one acre, and which was sold separately to a
person of the name of Jeremiah Nagle.
