The survey vessel H.M.S. "Sulphur," under Captain F.W. Beechey
(1796-1856), accompanied by her consort the "Starling," under
Lieutenant-Commander Henry Kellett (1806-1875), left England in
December 1835, assigned to the Pacific Ocean. The time for great
discoveries was past, but there remained the important task of
delineating the thousands of miles of coastline and countless
islands, reefs and shoals throughout the seven seas, for the safety
of navigation and the advancement of science. Reproduced in this
volume, with a scholarly introduction, are Belcher's account of
Prince William Sound, Sitka, Nootka Sound, California, and Fort
Vancouver. Simpkinson contributes accounts of the Northwest Coast
and California.
