Name origin
editThe mountain is listed in Burns Naval Biography, publ. 1849. Dove Island nearby, at the entrance to Actaeon Sound via Actress Passage, is believed to have been named for the gunboat HMS Dove, commanded by Lieut. Cdr James Bullock, which was deployed as tender to HMS Actaeon in the East Indies and Chinese waters in later years.[3]
