Honors
Two rescue ships were named after Archer: the Colin Archer of 1893 and a later Colin Archer lifeboat. The Colin Archer Peninsula, Devon Island, Nunavut, is named in his honor.
The Colin Archer Memorial Race sailing race, too, is named in honour of the boatbuilder. The biennial race starts in Lauwersoog, the Netherlands, and finishes near Larvik, in Norway. The distance covered is about 365 nautical miles (676 km); depending upon weather and the type of ship, the sailing time generally is three, four, or five days.
