Competing with English and Dutch attempts to find a northwest passage to Asia, the Spanish employed Juan de Fuca, a Greek navigator, to command an expedition that sailed north from Mexico seeking a northerly sea passage connecting the Pacific to the Atlantic.

Vancouver was able to explore this area effectively by using his vessels the Discovery and the Chatham as a base while operating smaller vessels such as a 'yawl', a 'cutter', and a 'longboat' to navigate around the maze of inlets, islands and channels.
