An archipelago on the Pacific coast of Canada, part of the province of British Columbia. The main islands are Graham Island, Moresby Island, and Louise Island, and are inhabited by over 2,000 people, mostly Haida Indians. Topographically, it is connected to Vancouver Island and the Coast Ranges. It is covered with forests and is known to have coal deposits. Its natural resources, including fisheries, have not been developed to any great extent. In 1787, G. Dixon and others explored the islands, and they were named after the ship they sailed on.
