VICTORIA,
BC'S CAPITAL CITY

W
e bobbed in the brisk winds
while rounding the breakwater into Victoria Harbour BC,
then lowered sail immediately. As the
harbour is crisscrossed by full-sized and
miniature ferries, pleasure craft and commercial vessels-the whole supplemented
by a stream of arriving and departing
seaplanes-sailing is strictly forbidden.
We left the yellow buoys to port (the
east side): the west side is reserved for
floatplanes. For safety, the Public Port of
Victoria (Transport Canada) keeps a close
eye on all this traffic: 23 always-on-thejob cameras cast their eyes over the entire
port, feeding large screens.
Victoria Harbour is well protected from
strong winds and Coast Salish people
flourished in the area for several thousand years. In 1843, the Hudson's Bay
Co. set up a stockaded fort in the area
near today's Bastion Square with the goal
16
of trading with the Indigenous people.
Neither HBC nor the successive settlers
that farmed, traded, created sawmills
and other industries, built schools and a
hospital, asked for permission to occupy
the land. Instead, Queen Victoria, who
bestowed her name on the city she never
saw, gave them permission to seize it.
We slipped past Fisherman's Wharf
filled with all manner of vessels interspersed with float homes and restaurants. Two historic structures popped
into sight: The Empress Hotel, built by
the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1908 as
one of its Canada-wide chain of luxury
hotels, and the BC Parliament Buildings.
Both these much-photographed structures were designed by Frances
Rattenbury, who arrived in Victoria
from England at age 25 and turned the
architectural community upside down.
