I thought they were named after Admiral Canary hence the Subsim interest...

Islas Canarius. H-B was first, but I also knew that. I'll be surprised if very many don't.

Or was it the first tin mine? Then they built a cannery?

Alot of marker icons around it suggest it is a digged out vulcano. I guess it could be a very old (abandoned) quarry. I've seen modern ones all around the islands.

Maybe Steinbeck was hiding out there when he wrote Cannery Row.
