Nature
Mount Brunswick, officially Brunswick Mountain, is a 1,788-metre summit in British Columbia’s Britannia Range above Howe Sound, near Lions Bay, and is often regarded as the highest peak in the North Shore Mountains. Named in 1859 by Captain Richards, it reflects his practice of naming Howe Sound features for the Battle of the Glorious First of June of 1794. The mountain honors HMS Brunswick, a 74-gun warship built at Deptford in 1790. Nearby Mount Harvey and Hutt Island likewise recall captains wounded in that battle. Today, Mount Brunswick is a demanding hike and a prominent feature of Vancouver’s northern skyline.
