Caamaño Sound

Caamaño Sound is a sound on the coast of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It extends east from Hecate Strait. Princess Royal Island, Rennison Island, and Aristazabal Island lie to the south of the sound. Several islands lie to the north, including Campania Island and the Estevan Group of islands. Caamaño Sound connects with various waterways including Estevan Sound, Campania Sound, and Laredo Channel.

Caamaño Sound is named for Jacinto Caamaño, who explored the region in command of the Spanish corvette "Aranzazu". [ [http://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=38407 Caamaño Sound] , BCGNIS]
