- King_George_(ship) abstract "The King George was a British merchant ship engaged in the Maritime Fur Trade in the late 18th century. It was named after King George III of England. The King George was a 320 ton (Builder's Old Measurement) ship with a crew of 59.In 1785 Richard Cadman Etches and partners, including Nathaniel Portlock and George Dixon formed a partnership, commonly called the King George's Sound Company, to develop the fur trade. Portlock and Dixon had served in the Pacific on James Cook's third voyage. In September 1785 Portlock, in King George, and Dixon, in the smaller Queen Charlotte, sailed from England. They sailed together for most of their three year voyage. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Falkland Islands in January 1786, and transited Cape Horn to enter the Pacific Ocean. They reached the Hawaiian islands on 24 May and anchored in Kealakekua Bay (where Cook had been killed in 1779), but did not go ashore. They took on fresh food at other Hawaiian islands and proceeded on to what is now Alaska. After two years of plying the waters, Portlock and Dixon departed North America, reaching Macao in November 1788.On their return Portlock and Dixon each published accounts of the voyage.".
