A prominent mountain with triangular contours, with a steep drop on its northwest side into the lake, Mount Bate is thought to have been named by George Henry Richards for Captain William Thornton Bate RN, a surveyor who was killed in the capture of Canton during the Second Opium War in 1857. The mountain is at the head of Canton Gorge, another geographical feature named by Richards. Richards was at first in-charge of the surveying vessel HMS Plumper and then the HMS Hecate, which surveyed the coastline of both the east and west coast of Vancouver Island in the 1860's.
