Place in British Columbia, Canada
Vesuvius , also known as Vesuvius Bay , is an unincorporated settlement and ferry terminal on the northwest coast of Saltspring Island in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia , Canada . It is the eastern terminus of a ferry which connects Saltspring Island to Vancouver Island across Sansum Narrows to Crofton , which is just north of the city of Duncan .
Throughout the 1800s, Vesuvius was predominantly composed of African-American settlers and their descendants.[1] [1] [1]
It is named for HMS Vesuvius (1839) , a ship of the Royal Navy assigned to the Pacific Station at Esquimalt in the 19th century, and indirectly after Mount Vesuvius in Italy .[2] : 284
