Abstract

On 25 June 1786 21-year-old Alexander Walker, ensign on a fur-trading expedition from Bombay led by the merchant James Strange, sighted the north-west coast of America. Early the next morning eight canoes, soon followed by forty more, came out to the ships. With great curiosity, Walker witnessed this first encounter between the Mowachaht people and a British merchant.
