Scope and content
Reno Odlin (l) , president of the Washington State Historical Society, poses on the deck of the "Nonsuch," an authentic replica of the 17th century sailing ship, which was docked in Old Town from September 15-18th, 1972. With him are the captain of the vessel, Adrian Small (center) and E.K. Murray, a descendant of a Hudson's Bay Co. chief factor. The captain was given a now-rare copy of "History of Fort Vancouver" by his two visitors. The "Nonsuch" was built in Great Britain in 1968 for Hudson's Bay Co.'s 300th anniversary two years ago. Since then the 53-foot ketch has visited many American and Canadian ports. The "Nonsuch" would sail away on Tuesday, September 19th, after a special short cruise for Mr. Odlin and company. Photograph ordered by the Washington State Historical Society. (TNT 9-11-72, p. 31- article; TNT 9-16-72, p. 1 -article; TNT 9-24-72, B-7 -article)
