[edit] Another Mount Quimper?

I'm originally from Sooke, so I was happy to see the Mount Manuel Quimper mention (beautiful place to go hiking, by the way) – but I recently came across a reference to another Mount Quimper near Clayoquot Sound. I don't know whether it's worth mentioning in the article, but I thought I'd leave the information here for anyone who's interested:

[edit] Translation of Beerman reference

Much of the information in this article has come from the Eric Beerman article "Manuel Quimper: Un marino limeño en la costa oeste del Canadá" which I've only been able to find in Spanish. I've tried to get the main information from this article using my rudimentary knowledge of Spanish and the Babelfish translator, which was very confusing in some places. A review of that article by someone fluent in Spanish might catch some translation errors, especially when it comes to Spanish naval and military terms.
