    Log and narrative of the voyage of the ship Columbia Rediviva and sloop Lady Washington, commanded by John Kendrick and Robert Gray respectively, from Boston (Mass.) to the northwest coast to trade with Native Americans for sea otter furs, thence to Canton to trade the furs for tea and other wares, and then homeward to Boston. The narrative covers the period 28 September 1787 to 17 June 1789, when the ships were still plying the northwest coast for furs. Includes a "vocabulary of Nootka Sound," a glossary of words in the Nuu-chah-nulth (also known as Nootka) language.
