{previous responder said, "Yes"]} .. This replay is a very vague answer because both William Clark and Meriweather Lewis were on the Voyage of Discovery, along with 31 other people. So WHOM said this?
ACTUALLY no one SAID it. William Clark wrote later in his Journal entry, "Ocian in view! O! the joy,".
However, he did not actually 'see' the Pacific Ocean. The cliff-side view he looked upon was looking over an estuary some 20 miles east yet, of the Pacific Ocean.

Who said Ocean in view oh the joy?
William Clark, of the explorer duo Lewis and Clark, thought that they had reached their goal, the Pacific Ocean, on November 7, 1805. He wrote in his journal "Ocian in view! O! the Joy!" (misspelled). But he soon learned that what he saw was not the Pacific: it was the wide estuary of the Columbia River, some 20 miles from the ocean itself. Storms then kept them from making it to the actual shore for almost 3 weeks. The failure of any relief ships to arrive meant they spent the winter of 1805-1806 there, near what is now Astoria, Oregon.
Can you describe what Lewis and Clark saw when they reached the Pacific Ocean?
"Great joy in camp, we are in view of the ocean, this great Pacific Ocean which we have been so long anxious to see. The roaring or noise made by the waves breaking on the rocky shores (as I suppose) may be heard distinctly."It was not the ocean they were looking at, but the Columbia River estuary. The day was rainy and foggy, and they couldn't see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough.
How much is a 2005 Lewis and Clark nickel with the quote ocean in view o the joy worth?
This nickel is currently worth approximately 6.5 cents, on a national average. A number of experts believe in ten years that they will be valued in a range between 12-15 cents. All of these estimates are based upon mint condition nickels.
Significance of Lewis and Clark to the theme of Westward Expansion?
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out on an expedition to find the end of the new American nation. They were the original pioneers of the west, and they were among the first of the American settlers to see the Pacific Ocean. When they finally reached it, they wrote the famous words: "Ocian in view O! The Joy!" They basically showed to the rest of America that there was much more to be seen of this great nation, and thus inspired a Westward Expansion movement that would span the duration of the next century.
Which ocean did the Lewis and Clark expedition reach in November?
On November 7, 1805 William Clark wrote "Great joy in camp, we are in view of the ocean, this great Pacific Ocean which we have been so long anxious to see. The roaring or noise made by the waves breaking on the rocky shores (as I suppose) may be heard distinctly." However, it was not the ocean they were looking at, but the Columbia River estuary. The day was rainy and foggy, the estuary was four or five miles wide, they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance throught the fog.

What were Lewis and Clark's reaction upon seeing the Pacific Ocean?
Lewis and Clark, sadly, did not actually see the Pacific Ocean. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 7 1805. The day was rainy and foggy, and the Columbia River estuary was four or five miles wide and they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough to have reached their goal.Clark makes a quick note the their reaction at the end of the journal entry for November 7, 1805:"Great joy in camp, we are in view of the ocean, this great Pacific Ocean which we have been so long anxious to see. The roaring or noise made by the waves breaking on the rocky shores (as I suppose) may be heard distinctly."
