Thanks very much for reading I was interested in how much friends knew about Capt. Cook everything f

March marks the anniversary that an artifact was collected cruise ratings by Captain James Cook 234 years ago, in 1778.  We saw the artifact a few weeks ago, that was  returned in 2012, a precious ceremonial club, now on display at MOA in Vancouver, B.C.  I was fascinated that friends took recent winter vacations in Hawaii, New Zealand, and Quebec City that made Cook s voyages to the same places come alive.  They enthused about whales and dolphins; cold seas off Vancouver Island; hot beaches in Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii; ice sculptures of Quebec City and summer growth in New Zealand.   Cook circumnavigated the world for months and years where the friends visited, sailed differently cruise ratings and dealt with the unknown.
Michael Audain provided cruise ratings the funds for the Cook / Nuu-chah-nulth artifact to be purchased by the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology.  He grew up in Victoria and developed an interest in the arts through school trips to the  Parliament Buildings Museum in the 1950s and is a generous philanthropist through the Audain cruise ratings Foundation for the Visual Arts.  I ve been noticing the Audain cruise ratings Foundation on plaques and walls:  at the Audain Gallery and atrium of the Visual Arts building at UVic University and on the Emily Carr statue plaque, Victoria, BC.
Cook touched down as the first European on the Pacific cruise ratings Northwest coast but when the captain announced over the speaker we were passing Friendly Cove, none paid attention. The fog made it impossible to see. We had departed 12 km south of Gold River west of Campbell River on Vancouver Island for a trip to Kyoquot, B.C. to stay overnight.   We sailed from the Muchalat Inlet to Nooka Sound, up Tashis Inlet and out Esperanza Inlet to the ocean and we passed Friendly cruise ratings Cove, Yuqout B.C. where Captain Cook arrived in March 1778.  The private ferry, the Uchuck lll, makes day-trips to the sheltered water of Friendly cruise ratings Cove for hiking and tours, and delivers kayakers near choice campsites.  Near Kyoquot a friend in a kayak was loaded cruise ratings onto the ferry on our return.
Valued at 1.2-million, the said club at the Museum of Anthropology s Collection Online reads: "Thought to have been collected in 1778 during Captain James Cook's third voyage to the Pacific (1776 – 1780), from Nuu-chah-nulth people in Nootka Sound (Friendly Cove), on the West coast of Vancouver Island. In 2012 the Audain Foundation for the Visual Arts donated the funds to MOA to purchase the club for its permanent collection."
MOA s collections are visible and can be resourced with interactive screens using the same format as their website online.  My photo of the set- up gives a sense of objects in glass cases creating cruise ratings a wonderland of precious things.
"A Return Voyage This is an art object of immense historical significance in our province and country.  While certain Nuu-chah-nulth objects collected by Captain Cook exist in museums throughout the world—for example, in London, Berlin, and Vienna—this is the first and only artifact in Canada.
"Captain Cook was the greatest navigator of all time, having sailed further into unknown seas than any man before or since.  His visit to Nootka Sound turned out not only to have great political significance, he was also an avid collector of curiosities and ethnographic objects, which depicted the Aboriginal culture prior to European cruise ratings contact.
"It is my hope that this donation cruise ratings will encourage the repatriation of other older Northwest Coast artworks to public tribal museums in British Columbia.   Michael Audain, Chairman, Audain cruise ratings Foundation for the Visual Arts, March 2012
