Esperanza Inlet

Esperanza Inlet is an inlet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Its entrance is located off the northwest side of Nootka Island and is defined by a line drawn from Tachu Point to Blind Reef. Until that definition was applied by the Canadian Hydrographic Service in 1959, the inlet's entrance was considered to be the area southeast of Catala Island.[1] Among its adjoining branches is Zeballos Inlet.

Name origin

Originally charted as "Hope Bay" by Captain James Cook, defining its opening as being between "Breakers Point" (Estevan Point) and Woody Point (Cape Cook). This name was adapted into Spanish by Alessandro Malaspina whose officers, Espinosa and Ceballos (the namesake of Zeballos Inlet), explored this inlet in 1791.[2]

gollark: Well, it's dynamically typed, it has nice things like full text search (which is also apiaristic in a few ways...), it has "recursive common table expressions", I can't immediately think of anything else.
gollark: Unlike most, its databases are one file and it's a small C library you can embed in programs.
gollark: SQLite is an *implementation* of much of this standard, plus weird extra features.
gollark: SQL is merely a standard language for accessing databases.
gollark: I wrote a bad RSS reader for it at one point.
