Admiral Sir Harry Burrard-Neale, 2nd Baronet GCB GCMG, born Harry Burrard, (1765 - 1840) was a British
officer of the Royal Navy, and Member of Parliament for Lymington. He was one of the Lords of the Admiralty
between 1804 and 1807, and was promoted to rear-admiral on 31 July 1810. Burrard Inlet, British Columbia,
Canada was named in his honour by Captain George Vancouver in June 1792, during his expedition of
exploration in the Pacific Northwest. During the later development of the city of Vancouver, a major north-south
thoroughfare, Burrard Street, was named for the inlet, which subsequently gave its name to Burrard Bridge, one of
the three major bridges that connect downtown Vancouver to its suburbs to the south.
