George Vancouver explored and charted the North-West Coast of North America, including the shores of the modern day Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. He also explored the southwest coast of Australia. Whether he actually discoveredland or merely charted coasts that were known but not in detail, is a matter of terminology.
