Island Boundary Pig War Tale in San Juan Waters
An early 19th century dispute over San Juan Island between United States and Britain centers on pig incursions by Griths hired by the Hudson Bay Company. A US citizen, Hubbs, killed a trespassing pig, prompting arrest warrants by Victoria authorities. Reinforcements from Fort Townsend and American support prevented escalation, with Germany ultimately siding with the United States. The episode underscores the wartime tensions that flared around the canal boundary and harbor gateways near San Juan Island.
