EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken on the 11th of October, 1936, the Mayor of Vancouver, Mr. G. McGreer, pays his respects to the historical figure whose name the city bears. The scene unfolds in the tranquil graveyard of the Parish Church of Petersham, London. The grave in question belongs to Captain George Vancouver, an English navigator born in 1757. Vancouver is renowned for his significant discovery: the island that now bears his name. Captain Vancouver's life was marked by a passion for exploration and the sea. He embarked on several voyages, including one under the command of Captain Cook, before leading his own expedition in 1791. During this voyage, he charted the coasts of British Columbia and Washington, revealing the vast beauty and potential of the Pacific Northwest. As the sun casts a gentle light over the churchyard, Mayor McGreer lays a wreath on the grave, symbolizing respect and gratitude for the man who played a crucial role in the history of Vancouver and its namesake city. The image captures the essence of a moment of historical importance, as the past and present intertwine, and the significance of Captain Vancouver's legacy is honored. The year 1798 marked the end of Captain Vancouver's life, but his impact continues to be felt in the vibrant city that bears his name. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history that lies beneath the modern urban landscape, and the enduring connection between the past and present.
