[Panel 2]:Boat of Discovery
“…The real story of George Vancouver and other explorers of the Pacific Northwest is not in one great voyage. It is in the hundreds of lesser voyages made by the small boats, thoroughness and unfailing courage with which these tasks were carried out through the long years of exploration of the Great River of the West, the Columbia River.”
Marker is on Columbia Street near 3rd Street, on the right when traveling east.
