  • Robert Sommers: the Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in The
    The Atlas: UBC Undergraduate Journal of World History | 2004 The Role of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Early History of Vancouver ROBERT SOMMERS British Columbia’s entry into Confederation in 1871 was contingent upon the construction of a national railway. For the rest of that decade, however, the debate raged as to where the terminus would be, with the province’s two leading urban centres, New Westminster and Victoria, vying for the prize. At that time, the town where Vancouver stands today was known as Granville or Gastown, and was full of impassable forests, was a remote location, and had land so cheap that it traded for a dollar an acre. Finally, in 1882, when Burrard Inlet was announced as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) terminus, Port Moody went wild with land speculation. However, the provincial government had other plans. Desiring an extension of the railway all the way to Coal Harbour, the province made the CPR an offer it could not refuse: more than ten square miles (6458 acres) of land in return for an extension of the rail line and for CPR construction of works and docks by the railroad terminus. The Canadian Pacific, led by William Cornelius Van Horne, quickly agreed. It wanted to extend its line anyway because Port Moody lacked sufficient room for the railway to operate: it did not own an acre outside of the limited rail yard and the Second Narrows was not considered a safe passage for ships. The CPR thus became the richest landowner in town, the speculative land market in Port Moody immediately collapsed – only to rise in Granville – and Gastown boomed, becoming a city on April 6, 1886.

  • SS-Beaver-Medal-Awar
    Amazing Sea Stories – The Maritime Museum of BC April 13, 2012 - For Immediate Release Call for nominations: The Maritime Museum of British Columbia to award S.S. Beaver Medals for Maritime Excellence The Maritime Museum of BC invites all members of the media to attend a press announcement at the museum to unveil our new Award of Excellence on Monday, April 16th at 10am. This new award – then Maritime Museum of BC SS Beaver Medal for Maritime Excellence –will honour individuals who have made outstanding contributions or significant achievements in maritime endeavours in our Province. These attainments may include—but are not limited to—science, technology, business, applications of maritime skills, nautical heritage and culture, and academic contributions. The gold- plated Medal, which incorporates copper from the 19th century steamship S.S. Beaver, underlines not only our Province’s vivid maritime history, but also highlights the continuing importance of British Columbia’s maritime sector. BC has more than 40,000 islands and a coastline of nearly 26,000 kilometres. “We plan to award up to three medals each year,” said former Ambassador and retired Admiral John Anderson, a member of the medal steering committee. “Our first medal presentations are scheduled for fall 2012.” The medals were struck in 1954 from copper and other materials salvaged decades earlier from the wreck of S.S. Beaver, and the first steamship on the west coast. A paddle-wheeler, Beaver has an iconic significance in our Province’s maritime history. Built in Britain for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1835, Beaver worked British Columbia’s coastal waters for 53 eventful years.

  • An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with Suggestions for Further Research
    Part I, “Our Manifest Destiny Bids Fair for Fulfillment”: An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with suggestions for further research Military men and women pose for a group photo at Vancouver Barracks, circa 1880s Photo courtesy of Clark County Museum written by Donna L. Sinclair Center for Columbia River History Funded by The National Park Service, Department of the Interior Final Copy, February 2004 This document is the first in a research partnership between the Center for Columbia River History (CCRH) and the National Park Service (NPS) at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The Park Service contracts with CCRH to encourage and support professional historical research, study, lectures and development in higher education programs related to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve (VNHR). CCRH is a consortium of the Washington State Historical Society, Portland State University, and Washington State University Vancouver. The mission of the Center for Columbia River History is to promote study of the history of the Columbia River Basin. Introduction For more than 150 years, Vancouver Barracks has been a site of strategic importance in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1849, the post became a supply base for troops, goods, and services to the interior northwest and the western coast. Throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century soldiers from Vancouver were deployed to explore the northwest, build regional transportation and communication systems, respond to Indian-settler conflicts, and control civil and labor unrest. A thriving community developed nearby, deeply connected economically and socially with the military base. From its inception through WWII, Vancouver was a distinctly military place, an integral part of the city’s character.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • Research Note SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898
    Research Note The Cruise of the Steel Steamer: SS Beaver on the Lower Fraser River Route, 1898–1926 Trevor Williams* n British Columbia, newly named vessels earn the “Beaver” mat- ronymic under the weight of great expectations. This single word swells with the spirit of colonial-era trading and exploration, arising from the first such-named vessel, the original Beaver, a steamer built in I 1835 England in and owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company. This wooden side-wheeler plied the rivers and oceans of precolonial British Columbia before being marooned upon the rocks at Prospect Point, near Vancouver, in 1870. As she rotted and was slowly looted, this much- photographed steamboat was only beginning to be transformed, through the tributes and eulogies given by historians, into a cultural icon of the frontier explo- ration and conquest of British Columbia by newcomer settlers. Because of the heritage and culture embedded within the name “Beaver,” only one paddlewheel steamer could be given the same name of this evolving cultural icon, and such a boat had to be known as a special vessel, even before it was built.1 In 1898, at Albion Iron Works, in the inner harbour of Victoria, British Columbia, “a new shipyard has sprung into existence, in which the first stern-wheeled, steel vessel ever put together in this province is to be built!” This was an unprecedented year for shipbuilding in British Columbia, where several new sternwheel boats designed to conquer the Yukon rivers were being assembled in Victoria and New Westminster. Of course, most boat builders were also woodworkers, but this new steel steamer being built for Canada Pacific Navigation (CPN) mainly needed ironworkers * Thank you to Jude Angione, Merlin Bunt, George Duddy, and John MacFarlane for their assistance.

    UC Merced UC Merced Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Soft gold and the Pacific frontier: geopolitics and environment in the sea otter trade Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03g4f31t Author Ravalli, Richard John Publication Date 2009 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 1 Introduction Covering over one-third of the earth‘s surface, the Pacific Basin is one of the richest natural settings known to man. As the globe‘s largest and deepest body of water, it stretches roughly ten thousand miles north to south from the Bering Straight to the Antarctic Circle. Much of its continental rim from Asia to the Americas is marked by coastal mountains and active volcanoes. The Pacific Basin is home to over twenty-five thousand islands, various oceanic temperatures, and a rich assortment of plants and animals. Its human environment over time has produced an influential civilizations stretching from Southeast Asia to the Pre-Columbian Americas.1 An international agreement currently divides the Pacific at the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait between Russia to the west and the United States to the east. This territorial demarcation symbolizes a broad array of contests and resolutions that have marked the region‘s modern history. Scholars of Pacific history often emphasize the lure of natural bounty for many of the first non-natives who ventured to Pacific waters. In particular, hunting and trading for fur bearing mammals receives a significant amount of attention, perhaps no species receiving more than the sea otter—originally distributed along the coast from northern Japan, the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka peninsula, east toward the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan coastline, and south to Baja California.
