Haidas And Their Legends From Early Exploration Years
The article recounts 19th century surveying of Hecate Strait and Haida territories. It details sounding work by HMS Alert and HMS Hecate, later surveys by Hender, Dawson, and Collison, and notes on coal near Skidegate Inlet. It ends with an author’s personal voyage to Massett in 1888 and a teaser for next week.
