George Vancouver learned from the master – and then surpassed him. He survived Captain Cook’s final, fatal voyage as a teenager, then returned to map 10,000 miles of uncharted Pacific coastline
with breathtaking accuracy. One apprentice’s journey from student to surveying genius who shaped
the Pacific Northwest forever.
Book online or by phone. The talk is free to attend, museum entry is separate (£11 for adults, children are free).
