Captain George Vancouver anchored in Simoom Sound in his vessels the Discovery and Chathan, 29 July to 5 August 1792, while the neighbourhood was examined by rowboats.
He spent time working at this in Geneva, Lyons and Paris before he arrived in London in 1776 where, after a short period of working in a sugar refinery, he joined HMS Discovery as an able seaman on 12 March of that year for James Cook's third voyage to the Pacific.
