Шаблон:Short description De Horsey Passage is a short strait in the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, separating De Horsey Island to the east from Smith Island to the west.[1] The passage, like the island, was named for Rear Admiral Algernon Frederick Rous de Horsey, commander in chief on this station from 1876 to 1879. His flagship was Шаблон:HMS, 26 guns, under Captain Bedford.[2]

Kshaoom Indian Reserve No. 23 is on its northwestern end on De Horsey Island. Opposite is Dashken Indian Reserve No. 22, on the eastern trip of Smith Island.
