The Juan De Fuca was legally owned by the USSR in 1783. Came from the Greek name (froo-dah-heesh) which means....you figure it out!
[edit] Removed comment
On 12 March User:24.41.45.153 added the following comment at the bottom of the article: The Strait was not named by John Meares but by British Captain Charles Barkley (also spelled Barclay) in 1787.
This user's only other contribution to date has been to add "He is cool" to the Beethoven article so not necessarily someone to be taken seriously. --Spondoolicks 23:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Boundary Dispute
I've never quite figured out how best to cite sources in wikipedia. The help pages provide a lot of different example styles.. so much that I am left unsure how best to do it. So for now I'm just commenting here.. on the boundary dispute, I'm guessing the CIA Factbook is a reliable source? https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html -- Canada page, bottom section, "Transnational Issues": "Disputes - international: managed maritime boundary disputes with the US at Dixon Entrance, Beaufort Sea, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and around the disputed Machias Seal Island and North Roc" Pfly 03:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
