This is the second revised state of the map, which was first surveyed in 1858 and the first edition of the map printed in 1864, with revisions in February and March of 1865, as the British Royal Navy began to complete its relocation from Valparaiso, Chile, to Constance Cove.

San Juan Island National Historical Park The Pig War n June 15, 1859, an American farmer named Lyman Cutlar shot and killed a Hudson’s Bay Company pig rooting in his San Juan Island O potato patch. By so doing he nearly started a war between the United States and Great Britain. However, much more than a pig was involved. For more than 40 years, the two nations had been contending over the Oregon Country, which today comprises Washington, Oregon, Idaho, as well as portions of Montana and Wyoming and the province of British Columbia. On June 15, 1846, the two nations agreed upon the 49th parallel as the international boundary. The final sticking point was possession of the San Juan Islands. The Hudson’s Bay Company allegedly threatened Cutlar with arrest by British authorities if he did not make fair restitution for the pig. This compelled U.S. Army Department of Oregon commander Brigadier General William S.

  • Ships and Boats
    SHIPS AND BOATS Hudson’s Bay Company Beaver. The Hudson’s Bay Company steamship Beaver was not only the first steamer in Puget Sound, but also the most venerable. Built in England in 1835, she was 101 feet long, 20 feet in the beam, and had an 11 foot deep hold. After sailing around the Horn and arriving at the Fort Vancouver via the Sandwich Islands, the Beaver, which was originally meant for travel on the Columbia River, was assigned to routes from Fort Nisqually in Puget Sound and further north to other Company trading posts. The Beaver had a crew of thirty, ten of whom were wood choppers, because she burned some 40 cords a day, which was about all she could carry. In 1860, she took up the Victoria-New Westminster run as a passenger boat. She was sold as a tugboat by the Company in 1874, and after several more reincarnations and owners, she was abandoned after hitting the rocks near Vancouver Harbor in 1888. Julia. The Beaver was joined in 1853 by the Hudson’s Bay Company ship Julia, a bark-rigged propeller steamer, 122 feet in length and 20 feet in beam. Otter. Built in England in 1852 for the Hudson’s Bay Company, the Otter was a wooden, single-screw steamer, schooner rigged. The dimensions of this 291-ton gross ship were 125 feet long by 22 feet in beam and drew 12 feet. Prince Albert.

  • Mudge Island
    Mudge Island By Ivan Bulic and Joyce White A little over a tenth of a mile across False Narrows from Gabriola, Mudge Island seems almost a part of its larger neighbour. With no ferries, stores or schools, the Mudgekins - and the little Mudgekins - have to row their boats to Gabriola for groceries, to ride the ferry to Nanaimo, or attend school. But this small gulf island (only 1.2 sq miles in size and with fewer than 100 full-time residents) is not simply a smaller version of Gabriola. Originally labeled Portland Island on early charts, Mudge is part of an island group that includes Pylades, Ruxton, and De Courcy islands. It was officially named after Royal Navy Lt. William Tertius Fitzwilliam Mudge, by Capt George Richards during his 1859 survey of Vancouver Island in HMS Plumper. Today it is hard to imagine the crucial role played by the navy in early colonial British Columbia. Royal Navy ships charted the coast, carried supplies and mails to scattered coastal settlements and Hudson’s Bay forts such as Nanaimo, and enforced British law. Naval officers acted as police officers and judges, resolved land disputes, negotiated with local First Nations, and conducted scientific observations of the animals, plants, geology and climate in the areas they explored. William Mudge was a quintessential Victorian naval officer. Born in 1831, he entered the navy as a 13-year-old cadet, and came from an old naval family that included Zachary Mudge, first lieutenant in Capt George Vancouver’s expedition, after whom Cape Mudge off Campbell River is named.

    A Lekwungen Herring Fishing site in Esquimalt Harbour. A Unique photograph in the Collection of the Royal B.C. Museum By Grant Keddie, Curator of Archaeology 19th century photographic images in the Victoria region that show Lekwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations) undertaking traditional food gathering practices are rare. The only example of fishing is a photograph, taken in 1868, by Frederick Dally in Esquimalt harbour at the south entrance to Lang Cove (RBCM PN905). Lang Cove is located south of Skinner’s Cove, both of which are within the larger Constance Cove. This is the location of an ancient shellmidden as demonstrated by the scattered white clam shells seen in the image and later observed by the author at this location. Figure 1. Herring Fishing Station at Wood’s Landing in Esquimalt Harbour. RBCM PN905. This image (fig. 1 and close-up fig.2) of a man and woman at a herring fishing site is listed in Frederick Dally’s Miscellaneous Papers, (File 17), as #5 “Indian at Esquimalt, canoes, fish etc.”. A copy of the photograph in the RBCM Archives Dally Album #5 has information along the bottom of the image noting what is in the photograph “herrings drying - rush mat- fish spears – Indian woman cooking – Chinook canoes – Esquimalt Harbour V.
