Chrome Island

Chrome Island is the site of a light station in the Salish Sea/Georgia Strait on the coast of Vancouver Island in an area known as Baynes Sound. It is 100 m off the southeast tip of Denman Island and 3.5 km east-northeast of the harbour at Deep Bay, British Columbia. The island was known as Yellow Rock until 1940, when the name was changed to prevent confusion with a similarly named island. Archaeological studies have explored evidence of a pre-contact people there, including petroglyphs, human bones and a midden of discarded shells.
