- Thetis_Island abstract "Thetis Island (population: 350) is an island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the Gulf Islands. The island was named in 1851 after HMS Thetis, a 36-gun Royal Navy frigate commanded by Captain Augustus Leopold Kuper (after whom Kuper Island is named). The ship was named after the Nereid Thetis from Greek mythology. Thetis was first settled in 1874 but permanent settlement took hold in the 1890s and 1900s.One of the early families on Thetis Island was the Hunter family. In 1891 Peter & Joseph Hunter purchased lot 27 from Mr. Walls, and then a couple of years later, lot 18 from Olaf Gustafson. Descendants of Peter Hunter continue to live on the northern coast of the island. Among the homes and seasonal cabins of Thetis Island are three Christian organizations: Capernwray Harbour Bible School, Pioneer Pacific Camp and Camp Columbia. There are also a harbour, restaurant and pub, a small convenience store and at least one bed and breakfast. Thetis Island is also home to one of the only one room schoolhouses left in Canada.Thetis Island has a mild climate experiencing less rainfall than the eastern coast of Vancouver Island because it lies in the Strait of Georgia in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island. Vegetation on the island includes many Arbutus, Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. Pilkey Point offers islanders and visitors a great view of the ocean and is a popular attraction.".
