18th Century Exploration |
The late 1700's marked an era of maritime exploration of North America's Pacific coastline. English, Spanish, American & Russian traders had come and gone for decades, exchanging trade goods for valuable pelts from the local inhabitants.
Explorers like Juan Joseph Perez Hernandez (1774) & James Cook (1778) had each sailed along this rugged coastline, each had bypassed Georgia Strait and each presumed that Nootka (on Vancouver Island) was part of the coastal mainland. |
