About Vancouver Island Chesterman Beach Canada
Templar Channel is a channel in the Clayoquot Sound region of the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, lying between Lennard Island and Wickaninnish Island just northwest of the town of Tofino. An anchor was found in the channel that is possibly from the wreck of the Tonquin, an American trading ship that was destroyed in the area in 1811.
