Vancouver the Immortal Captain of the North Pacific
George Vancouver, born 1758, sailed with Captain Cook from 1772 to 1775 and later led a major North Pacific expedition. He steered British interests in Puget Sound and surrounding waters, aided by Spruce beer brewing on Discovery and Chatham, and secured joint occupation rights with Spain and the United States amid fur trade tensions.
