Abstract
For over two centuries, Pacific Northwest Tribes have told the histories of at least five shipwrecks or visits by European ships decades before Europeans were supposed to have visited the region. What were these ships, and where did they come from? Why were they in the Pacific Northwest at a time when no Europeans should have been here? Scott Williams will present the results of more than 15 years of research into these "mystery" wrecks of European ships in the Northwest prior to the recorded voyages of English and Spanish explorers and fur traders.
