About this product
Product Information
This title offers a biography of he man who discovered Vancouver Island, George Vancouver. Born in England in 1758, entered the Roya Navy at the age of 13 and soon secured an appointment with the greatest of all seamen, Captain James Cook and learned all his maritime skills under his tutelage - accompanying Cook on his voyage around the world in 1772-74. For nearly 200 years Vancouver's name has suffered from the virulent animosity shown by British aristocrats who chose to believe crew members rather than the mariner whose life was dedicated to the truth. This title aims to put the record straight.Product Identifiers
