Dayman Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dayman Island is located beside Thetis Island and Hudson Island. It is about 24 acres (9.7 ha) in size, and is a private island. Dayman has a 2100 sq ft (195.1 m²) year round main residence and caretaker's residence on it.

Likely named after Dayman (given name not known), an officer aboard HMS Thetis, 36-guns, on this station 1851-1853, under the command of Captain Augustus Leopold Kuper, CB. As Kuper Island was named in 1858 by Captain Richards, HMS Plumper, Dayman Island was possibly named at the same time, although not labeled on resulting Admiralty Chart 579.
