Danube Rock (In entrance to Kagan Bay, Skidegate Inlet, Queen Charlotte Land District): "named in 1891 by the Hydrographic Office, British Admiralty, after the British merchant steamer Danube, Captain William Meyer, which vessel struck this rock, hitherto unknown, in April 1891. An iron vessel, this vessel was built at Govan, near Glasgow in 1869 for the Scottish Oriental Steamship Company and was one of the first merchant vessels to pass through the Suez Canal, which was opened 31 January 1865. Purchased in 1890 by the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, and in 1904 became the property by purchase of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, which took over in that year the business of the former company. Purchased in 1905 by the British Columbia Salvage Company for salvage purposes and renamed Salvor."
