George Vancouver Libri
George Vancouver fu un ufficiale navale britannico rinomato per aver guidato estese spedizioni di esplorazione marittima lungo la costa nord-occidentale del Nord America. Le sue imprese furono fondamentali per la meticolosa mappatura delle regioni costiere delle attuali Alaska, British Columbia, Washington e Oregon. Oltre al Nord America, esplorò anche le isole Hawaii e la costa sud-occidentale dell'Australia. Le esplorazioni navali di Vancouver hanno lasciato un'eredità duratura nella geografia e nella cartografia della regione.
