George Vancouver explored and mapped the coast.

He was a British explorer whose surveys strengthened British claims to the Pacific Northwest; the other three (Lewis & Clark, John Jacob Astor's settlement, and Methodist/Presbyterian missionaries) were American activities used to support U.S. claims.
