Captain George William Courtenay of the Royal British Navy

Query 160: Captain George William Courtenay of the Royal British Navy. There is a dispute in the Comox Valley which is on the East coast of Vancouver Island in BC. Captain George William Courtenay surveyed our area from 1846 to 1849. I want to know if he ever sailed into Comox harbour.

I want to know if he ever sailed into Comox harbour. Some are saying that he did and other are saying that he didn't. Can you help me find the answer to this question?
