Canadian Explores Mr. Hoy has wanted to be an explorer ever since he was a small boy….. Today he lives his dream!

Exploration: British Columbia CAPITAN COOK 1st European explorer in BC, claimed BC for Britain Looking for the North West passage Landed in Nootka Sound repair ships 1778 Traded for sea otter furs Pg. 82

Exploration: British Columbia by Sea Nootka Sound

Exploration: British Columbia by Sea Sea Otter furs fetched high prices in China, resulting in a “fur rush” off BC’s coast. Britain and Spain almost went to war over the control of the area

Exploration: British Columbia by Sea Capitan Vancouver and Capitan Quadra (Spain) negotiated peace and explored the waters around Van Isle together 1792-94. Ex: Cortez Isle, Valdez, Galliano,

Exploration: British Columbia by Land Alexander Mackenzie 1793 1st European to reach the Pacific over land. Aided by 1st N guides and hunters NWC employee Found the Mackenzie River but called It “Disappointment River” b/c it lead to the Arctic ocean rather than the Pacific

Exploration: British Columbia by Land Simon Fraser 1st European to descend the river that bears his name NWC employee

Exploration: British Columbia by Land David Thompson NWC employee Built a trading post on the Columbia River 1811 Reached the Pacific via the Columbia River only to find an American fur trading fort there. NWC buys out American fur traders land= NWC controlled all land west of the Rockies

Business Merger In 1821 NWC & HBC merged, reasons: By 1820 NWC & HBC were suffering financially NWC expanded too fast- too many outposts were expensive to maintain Lawsuits over the Red River Colony= $$$ Beaver in decline = less profits

Business Merger Cutting Costs: NWC route between Fort William and Montreal was closed, shipping furs from York Factory to England was cheaper. Many workers laid off, and many trading posts closed George Simpson became head of operations Simpson was hands-on, travelling to forts unannounced to inspect operations

Modern day Explorers Deep Sea Deep Earth (6min) Deep sea, deep mind How are explorers of today different than explorers we study in SS10? How are they similar? What is another realm of exploration in the human world?
