摘要

Archaeological excavations at the Hudson’s Bay Company’s (HBC) Fort Vancouver (now Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, in Vancouver, Washington) between 1947 and the 1990s yielded numerous traces of the company’s maritime industrial activities at what was not only the headquarters of the HBC’s Columbia Department, but also the shipyard and boatbuilding center for the company’s coastal fleet and small craft. The extensive maritime activities of the HBC on the Pacific coast form an important aspect of the larger narratives of the maritime fur trade, British colonial expansion, and the key role of the Hudson’s Bay Company in the development of North America. While the archaeological record of those maritime activities remains scant on a larger scale, the archaeological record from Fort Vancouver provides a tangible link to the ships, boats, and people engaged in the maritime aspects of the fur trade.
