Description
The Hudson's Bay Company's paddle steamship the Beaver was the first, and for many years the only, steam vessel on the coast of British Columbia. In 1888 her long and successful career came to a sad end on the rocks of Prospect Point, but she remains an object of fascination to divers.
This is the biography of the Beaver, a ship that made an unparrallelled contribution to the history of the west coast.
