MacDonald Island is part of Princess Louisa Inlet in British Columbia, between the entrance of the inlet at Malibu Rapids to the head of the inlet at Chatterbox Falls.[1] It is a popular mooring place for it is one of the few shallow places of the deep fjord. The island was originally named after the man who built a cabin at Chatterbox Falls - James F. MacDonald. In 1940 the Island was renamed Hamilton Island after Thomas F. Hamilton, who built the Malibu Club and purchased the land from MacDonald for $18,000. In 1972 the land's name reverted to the original name of MacDonald Island.
