Thetis Cove
Thetis Cove is on the east side of Esquimalt Harbour. It, as with other Thetis features, was named after HMS Thetis, a Royal Navy ship that sailed west coast waters in the 1850s.1
Interestingly, Kuper makes reference to another "Thetis" Cove, presumably somewhere on western Haida Gwaii.
