Custodial history
Scope and content
The series consists of dossiers on ships of the Royal Navy which served on the Pacific Station (and those visiting prior to 1837). The research was commissioned by the Maritime Museum of B.C. and conducted by Admiral P.W. Brock in Britain under a grant from the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation. A letter from the director of the Maritime Museum, filed with the dossiers, outlines the project. There is also a key to symbols and a list of ships described.
