Absolutely agree... everything matches, it's in front of Tennessee Point and its a whistling buoy even nowadays (the Bonita Channel Lighted Whistle Buoy No. 2 ). From the map maybe it seems a little to the southeast (2 or 3 nautical miles) of the modern buoy, closer to the 6 fathoms line of the west...

I've added everything to db. Thanks Ros! I think the Rocky Reef Point alternate name on Laida Rocks is not correct... i'm trying to find out if those rocks were named Rocky Reef, but the point itself should be to the southeast looking at this 1910 map . On that map the rocks have not a name, the poi...

All added to database, thanks Randi!

Yeah i completely agree they're referring the light that's actually on the island In this 1910 map , although the print is a little faint, the light is clearly on he islet. In this 1933 airway map the scale is not great but again the light seems to be distant from the land. Best one is perhaps this ...

Its definitely Seno Iceberg: https://www.bibliotecanacionaldigital.g ... BND:330145

All added to database, thanks Randi!

You're too kind
Don't think there's something as a medal, but I'm a level3 editor if that distinction still exist, which means i can move pretty everything around (most important places, and sensible ones, were locked from edits by newbies and lower level users)

Added to the database and reworked a little the places we had in the bay, Point San Luis was one of the first we added in the database (#126) so it was quite off place and it included the light in its notes, i've now splitted the two.

Thanks gordon!

I've added all to the database. Thanks! Agree with Michael both for Lawson Light being current Herbert Reefs Light and for the gas buoy... there's another candidate north of the shoals, but BC is always a pain for historical maps, so i'd go for the most probable one being our best guess. For Idol Po...

place and alternate names added to database, thanks Randi!

All added to db, thanks Randi!

All places from Saint Mary's Point to Port Mardon just added to database... a nice batch of Magallanes placenames thanks Randi!

Just added to the db, thanks!

Both added to database, thanks Randi!

It will be interesting dont worry!
Also i think the east coast is a little less covered in the database, so more chances for adding new places to it!

Google maps imagery is very indistinct in the area, but fortunately bing maps has good closeups. The light is active (the pdf is from 2024) and present on fishing app nautical chart. I've added Cape Ommaney Light, with Wooden Island Light as an alternate name, both to geonames (position 56.16027, -1...

Yeah it's always an issue linking things inside pdfs, the page number is sufficient

I've just added Walker Island Light with alternate name Camp Island Light to the database (and slightly moved island position as it was a little off place), thanks!

Definitely!
I'm gonna add all the alternate names to the database, i think we already have all major islands and several of those old names, but will double check everything and add what is missing

Thanks EShane!
