Juan Perez THE: King of Spain, determined to have the land north of California secured for his country, sent out an expedition on January 24, 1773, bound for California, the ship Santiago, under the command of Juan Perez. They arrived at Monterey May 9, and on June 11, they set forth to explore the coast northward. It was a most perilous voyage. They were driven coastward many times and enveloped in fog and rain. Perez sailed as far north as the north end of the present Queen Charlotte Islands; then he returned southward, endeavoring to keep near the coast that he might sight land. On August 8, the boat anchored off the coast a little north of the present Strait of Juan de Fuca, where Indians who were very friendly came out in canoes to trade their furs, dried fish and mats of hair for knives or anything made of iron. A few days later Perez sighted the lofty mountain now known as Mount Olympus. To Perez may be given the honor of having discovered the whole Northwest Coast, also of having given a good description of the coasts of Oregon and Washington and the first description of the natives.
