Vancouver (steamboat)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vancouver was a steamboat built and operated by the Hudson's Bay Company to serve on the route to and from London, England to Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island in what is now the province of British Columbia, Canada. Other vessels committed to the route were the Columbia and the Cowlitz, but the Vancouver was the first of the three to enter Victoria harbour, and the first vessel to sail directly from England to enter that port, in 1845.^[1]
