| Keswick Avenue | Slade Point | Island | Keswick Island, together with its twin, St Bees Island, was first designated as "L1 Island" by Lieutenant Matthew Flinders, RN, in HMS Investigator in October 1802. Flinders was well out to sea when he passed and probably could not see any separation between the two islands but in any event it was practice in those days to treat closely linked islands as one and give a single name pending further surveys. The two islands were given their individual names from the then English County of Cumberland he brought to the Whitsundays following James Cook's 1770 designation of the group as "The Cumberland Isles". Keswick is a major county town on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria into which Cumberland was absorbed in 1974.(TWI pp119.) |
