Allison Harbor , previously known as False Bay and False Schooner Passage , is a natural harbor on the coast of British Columbia , Canada . The bay extends north from its southern end and the opening to Queen Charlotte Street . It extends parallel to the Schooner Channel , formerly Schooner Passage, which separates Bramham Island from the mainland, and has therefore got its previous name, as it could be confused with this one at the entrance.
Allison Harbor was named in 1922 after Ambrose P. Allison, owner of the logging company AP Allison Logging .
