Canada - Tofino
Posted by James Pain on Thursday, November 01, 2007
Tofino, situated on the furthest West point of Vancouver Island was named after Vincente Tofino, a rear admiral of the Spanish Navy & hydrographer. When explorers Galiano and Valdes charted the coastal waters and came upon this beautiful inlet passage they decided to name if after their mentor Captain Vincente Tofino. Vincente never came to see the place that makes his name famous.
