Taylor Isld / Taylor Passage
22.2.1802. Flinders. Named after William Taylor, midshipman on Investigator who drowned on 21.02.1802. Flinders wrote: "William Taylor, the midshipman of the boat, was a young officer who promised fair to become an ornament to the service, as he was to society by the amiability of his manners and temper. The six seamen had all volunteered for the voyage. They were active and useful young men; and in a small and incomplete ship's company, which has so many duties to perform, this diminuition of our force was heavily felt".
