Surveyor L.A. Hamilton’s draughtsman made an error in tagging this West End street “Cardero” instead of “Cordero, after Cordero Channel, between East Thurlow Island and the mainland, which was itself named after José Cordero, who was, ironically, a draughtsman on Galiano’s ship the Mexicana. Valdes Island has a Cordero Point named correctly in his honor.
