CAPTAIN GEORGE VANCOUVER IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Presentation by Dave North

Join Dave North, an SNSYC member and volunteer speaker at the Maritime Museum of BC, as he explores the early career of Vancouver under the command of Captain Cook and his nine years as a crew member on ships fighting in the Caribbean. In 1791 Vancouver became a captain and was given the task of leading an expedition up the west coast of North America looking for the Northwest Passage.  On his return to England in 1795 he became embroiled in a scandal and was accused of being a tyrant. He died at the age of 40 in 1797.
