MacDonald Island
MacDonald Island is part of Princess Louisa Inlet in British Columbia, between the entrance of the inlet at Malibu Rapids to the head of the inlet at Chatterbox Falls.[1] It is a popular mooring place for it is one of the few shallow places of the deep fjord. The island was originally named after the man who built a cabin at Chatterbox Falls - James F. MacDonald. In 1940 the Island was renamed Hamilton Island after Thomas F. Hamilton, who built the Malibu Club and purchased the land from MacDonald for $18,000. In 1972 the land's name reverted to the original name of MacDonald Island.
