Haida Chief Edenshaw and the 1852 rescue at Massett
In 1852 Haida Chief Edenshaw protected shipwrecked sailors from an American vessel near Massett. He later guided Captain Prevost’s ship as pilot and earned recognition from HMS Trincomalee and Satellite. Edenshaw’s son Cohone found faith as the Massett school’s first catechist after being given a Bible by Prevost.
