Northwest Coast


	In the eighteenth century this remote corner of the world could only be reached by ship, and then only after months at sea over thousands of miles of uncharted oceans, and after rounding at least one of the worlds great continental capes. It was the last temperate coast on earth to be discovered by Europeans, who had been gradually extending their presence over the globe for a thousand years.
