Monument to S.S. Beaver

Beaver was a steamship originally owned and operated by the Hudson's Bay Company. She was the first steamship to operate in the Pacific Northwest of North America, and made remote parts of the west coast of Canada accessible for maritime fur trading. At one point she was chartered by the Royal Navy

for surveying the coastline of British Columbia. She served off the coast from 1836 until 1888, when she was wrecked.
