Merge with Dionisio Alcalá-Galiano
Yes please. Pfly (talk) 05:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Merge was done a while back now, just to note. Pfly (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Island and ship
Galiano Island, an island in the Strait of Georgia, is named for Alcalá Galiano. The Canadian warship HMCS Galiano was likewise named for him.
Actually I just assumed the ship was named for him and not for the island. I don't know. Either way it comes from the man's name ultimately. Since the HMCS Galiano shared its work with the HMCS Malaspina, and Galiano was one of Malaspina's main officers, I just figured the ship-namers had the people in mind. But I don't really know. How to rephrase the sentence? Pfly (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
