History
In 1826 Sir John Franklin (1828, p. 148), Royal Navy (RN), wrote; "There was another island adjoining which, seemed to be a collection of boulder stones; from whence its designation on the map." John Simpson's native map, dated 1855, gives the Eskimo name "Tingowaiak I." Leffingwell (1919, p. 94) states, "The island * * * has since been washed away, leaving shoals", which he named "Boulder Shoals."
