overview : It has been claimed that Captain Kendrick determined that Vancouver was an island by sailing completely around it. - Captain John Kendrick died in Hawaii after being struck by a ball fired from a British vessel that was saluting him. How ironic to die in such a way. A man as brave as he to die from a shot fired in his honor.
