Legacy
Captain George Vancouver named Cartwright Sound, on the west coast of Graham Island in the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia, Canada, in his honour in relation to his Royal Navy service under Admiral Howe.
John Cartwright House built in 1976 on the Mansford Estate in Bethnal Green was named in his honour. The estate was built by Tower Hamlets Council and a number of the blocks were named after social and political reformers. The Estate transferred to Tower Hamlets Community Housing, a local Housing Association in January 2006.
