Excerpt: The Nootka Crisis was an international incident and political dispute between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Spain, triggered by a series of events that took place during the summer of 1789 at Nootka Sound. Nootka Sound is a network of inlets on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, now part of the Canadian province of British Columbia and the territory of the Mowachaht group of the Nuu-chah-nulth indigenous people. The crisis revolved around larger issues about sovereignty claims and rights of navigation and trade. Since 1774 Spain sent several expeditions to the Pacific Northwest reasserting its long-held claims to the area. By 1776 Spanish exploration had reached Bucareli Bay including the mouth of the Columbia River and Sitka Sound. Territorial claims and navigation rights were established according to acts of sovereignty customary of the time. A complex series of events led to several British...

  • Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J
    Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J. King Johann Heinrich Zimmermann (1741-1805) a navigué sur le Discovery lors du troisième voyage de James Cook au Pacifique (1776-1780) et a écrit un compte du voyage, Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook (Mannheim, 1781). En 1782 il a été invité par William Bolts à participer à un voyage à la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique partant de Trieste sous les couleurs autrichiennes impériales. Ce voyage était conçu comme réponse autrichienne aux voyages de Cook, un voyage impérial de découverte autour du monde qui devait comprendre l'exploitation des possibilités commerciales du commerce des fourrures sur la côte nord- ouest et le commerce avec la Chine et le Japon. Zimmermann a été rejoint à Trieste par trois de ses anciens compagnons de bord sous Cook -- George Dixon, George Gilpin et William Walker, chacun destiné à naviguer comme officier sur le navire impérial et royal Cobenzell. Les lettres et le journal de Zimmermann qui ont survécu fournissent une source valable à cette étude des origines du commerce maritime des fourrures sur la côte nord-ouest. On 24 July 1782, George Dixon wrote from Vienna to Heinrich Zimmermann, his former shipmate on the Discovery during James Cook’s 1776-1780 expedition to the North Pacific: Dear Harry, Yours I Rec‘d, and am glad you have Resolution, like the Honest Sailor which I allways have taken you for, and are willing to be doing sum thing both for your self and the Country.

  • In the Washington Historical Quarterly, Volume VI., Page
    ORIGIN OF WASHINGTON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES [Continued from Volume XIII., Page 130.] SPOKANE, an Indian word which has attained great geographi­ cal use in the State of Washington. A wealthy county wears the name and its capitol, with the same name, is the beautiful and proud "Metropolis of the Inland Empire." It was first applied to the Indians, then to the river and the region it drained. Lewis and Clark, in 1805, wrote of the Indians and the falls, but used the name "Skeetsomish." (Elliott Coues, History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Volume III., pages 990-992.) On June 8 and August ) 1, 1811, David Thompson, of the Northwest Company of Mon­ treal, referred to the Spokane River and Spokane House, while on his map the 'river is charted as "Skeetshoo." (Narrative, Cham­ plain Society edition, pages 461, 530, and map,) The Spokane House mentioned by Mr. Thompson had been established under his authority in 1810 by Jaco Finlay and Finan McDonald at the junc­ tion of the Spokane and the Little Spokane Rivers. A short dis­ tance away the Pacific Fur Company (Astorians) built a rival Fort Spokane in 1812. (T. C. Elliott, "Columbia Fur Trade Prior to 1811," in the Washington Historical Quarterly, Volume VI., page 9.) Although the river was then known by another name and although the two trading posts were abandoned, they helped mater­ ially to fix the name on the country. The Astorians' post was taken over by the Northwest Company of Montreal during the War of 1812. The Northwest Company was absorbed by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821 and in 1827 that company established Fort Col­ ville and abandoned Spokane House.

  • The Story of Onetree 2019'S Big Leaf Maple Research and Story by John Lore & Kathryn Mcallister Onetree 2019 Is a Big Leaf
    The story of oneTree 2019’s Big Leaf Maple Research and Story by John Lore & Kathryn McAllister oneTree 2019 is a big Leaf Maple, over 200 years old and 31 feet in circumference. It started life about 1815, 50 years before the land was settled by Europeans. The tree grew in the Chemainus River Delta in Halalt Territory part of the Coast Salish, both nourished by bountiful Salmon. The land saw European settlement in 1865 by Sir Edmund Hope Verney who had commanded the ship “Grappler” out of Esquimalt, before moving to Chemainus, then back to England and becoming a member of Parliament. Politically a “liberal”, Verney petitioned the Island government of the day to live up to their promises to the Indians and although the Grappler was often charged with maintaining order with the local natives, he prided himself with never using the ships’ guns. The oneTree maple was Included in 100 acres purchased in 1892 for $2500 by retired British Royal Navy Capt. Charles Edward Barkley. A picture of C.E. Barkley’s house is included in the “memories” excerpt which shows the oneTree maple to the right. When the E and N railway came through, CE Barkley opened the first post office in his house by the maple and named the area “Westholme” by which it is still known today. It is his death that opened a very interesting wormhole of history: On November 22, 1909, the house started to burn in the middle of the night and, in his eighties, he ran back in twice to get historic documents, perishing in the fire on his second attempt.

  • Circumnavigating Vancouver Island Aboard PAU HANA II We Have Just Completed Our Eighth Summer of Cruising in the Waters of the Pacific Northwest
    Volume 15 Number 4 Fall 2010 DAY, Jim & Susan (#261) 1960 • DF 47, Wood • PAU HANA II Green Cove Springs, FL Circumnavigating Vancouver Island aboard PAU HANA II We have just completed our eighth summer of cruising in the waters of the Pacific Northwest. In 2005 and 2008 we traveled north to SE Alaska and last summer we traveled west across Hecate Strait to the remote but beautiful Queen Charlotte Islands. This summer we circumnavigated Vancouver Island and following is a brief synopsis of our trip. Vancouver Island, the largest island at 12,000 square miles on the western edge of North America, extends 300 miles from top to toe. Its western shoreline is referred to as the West Coast with its rugged rock-studded shoreline, crashing ocean swells, miles of sandy beaches, wildlife, coves, and bays. The coastline consists of five sounds and we would be traveling counter-clockwise, or down-island. We have an easier time running with the seas than into them. We left PAU HANA’s winter home in Port Townsend, Washington June 25, 2010 and worked our way north checking into Canada at Bedwell Harbour, on South Pender Island in the Gulf Islands, on July 1st. For the next six weeks we slowly made our way north up the east side of Vancouver Island and spent two of those weeks in our favorite cruising grounds, The Broughtons. We were constantly listening to the weather reports on the radio for the West Coast. Even in summer, storms of considerable force can hit and fog can be a problem.

  • James Hanna and John Henry Gox: the First Maritime Fur Trader and His Sponsor
    James Hanna and John Henry Gox: The First Maritime Fur Trader and His Sponsor W. KAYE LAMB and TOMÂS BARTROLI The clocks, watches, jewellery, and mechanical novelties that delighted the mandarins in Canton and Peking in the late eighteenth century have a modest place in the history of the maritime fur trade. For it was these "singsongs," as they were known locally, that brought to China the man who not only sponsored the pioneer expedition of James Hanna to Nootka in 1785 but also was involved in Hanna's second venture and in the better- known voyages of John Meares, Charles Barkley, James Colnett, and others in the crucial years that followed. The man in question was John Henry Cox, son of James Cox, a cele­ brated watchmaker and jeweller of Shoe Lane, London, who had been the major supplier of "singsongs." In 1766, "by order of the East India Com­ pany," James Cox had made two huge and bejewelled clocks of great complexity that the company had presented to the Emperor of China.1 Memory of this transaction may have benefited John Henry when he asked the East India Company for permission to go to Canton. Permission was granted, and he was in China by 1781.

  • America Enters the Pacific, 1787- 1793 (2017)
    OAKLEY, ERIC ODELL, Ph.D. Columbia at Sea: America Enters the Pacific, 1787- 1793 (2017). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 494pp. This dissertation evaluates the earliest phase of American engagement in the Pacific Ocean through a close examination of the fur-trading ship Columbia during the years 1787-93. I argue that Columbia established the dominant pattern of American commerce in the Pacific and, in doing so, played a significant role in the integration of disparate shores into a single Pacific World. This study also reconstructs her pioneering, yet understudied voyages in order to challenge a historiographical neglect of the eighteenth-century foundations of American empire in the Pacific. My research unfolds on three scales. First, Columbia reveals a series of interconnected local histories that hinge upon individuals in Boston, on the Northwest Coast of America, and in Canton. Second, her expeditions show how American merchants and sea captains leveraged transnational variations in trade to reorient the United States toward the commerce of the Pacific Ocean. Third, Columbia demonstrates how entrepreneurs of the Early Republic established a global trade circuit integrating the markets of the United States, the Pacific World, and China. This study also stresses the experimental nature of the Columbia expeditions. By reconstructing the financial outcomes of her voyages, I emphasize improvisation and adaptation as vital strategies in the development of a successful enterprise in the ocean hemisphere. Columbia’s success inspired
