Some Reminiscences of Old Victoria
SOME REMINISCENCES OF OLD VICTORIA BY EDGAR FAWCETT Some Reminiscences of Old Victoria CHAPTER I. THE EXPERIENCES OF A BRITISH BOY IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE EARLY FIFTIES. I shall commence by saying that I, with my father, mother, brother and sister, arrived in San Francisco in , in the ship Victoria, from Australia, where I was born. From stress of weather we put into Honolulu to refit, and spent, I think, three weeks there, and as my mother was not in good health the change and rest on shore did her a deal of good. During our stay we became acquainted with a wealthy American sugar planter, who was married to a pretty native lady. They had no family, and she fell in love with your humble servant, who was of the mature age of two and a half years. My mother, of course, told me of this years later, how that after consulting with her husband, the planter, she seriously proposed to my mother that she give me to her for adoption as her son; that I should be well provided for in the case of her husband’s death, and in fact she made the most liberal offers if she might have me for her own. It might have been a very important epoch in my life, for if my mother had accepted, who knows but what I might have been "King of the Hawaiian Islands," as the planter’s wife was "well connected." But, to proceed, my mother did not accept this flattering offer, as naturally she would not, and so we continued on our way to San Francisco with many remembrances of my admirer’s kindness. -

Hudson's Bay Company Merchant Shipping, 1829-1859
ALEXANDER SPOEHR A 19th Century Chapter in Hawai'i's Maritime History: Hudson's Bay Company Merchant Shipping, 1829-1859 ALTHOUGH HAWAI'I'S RESIDENTS and the almost six million tourists who annually visit the Hawaiian Islands in the 1980s travel by air, both residents and tourists also depend on the overseas merchant shipping that each week replenishes the Islands' food supply and other necessities of life. Hawai'i's present reliance on merchant shipping is the end product of an historical process that began with the fur trade two centuries ago, and which thereafter was expressed in the close relationship between merchant shipping and the Islands' subsequent economic development and population growth. The events of this paper are set in the distant past, but the paper's focus on overseas merchant shipping refers to an ongoing theme in Hawai'i's maritime history. The growth and changing character of Hawaiian commerce during the 19th century are reasonably well known.1 But the day-to-day organization and development of the foreign shipping —European and American—that carried most of this commerce are not. The extensive documentation on the Hudson's Bay Company in Hawai'i provides a conveniently bounded 30-year Alexander Spoehr is University Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Pittsburgh, and Honorary Consultant, Bishop Museum.

The first objective of this paper is to describe the pattern of Company shipping in the Pacific, Hawai'i's participation in this pattern, the vessels the Company used, and the nature of their deployment. -
