King George (1781 ship)

The King George was a British merchant ship launched in 1781. Primarily used for trade, she is most notably associated with several voyages to the Pacific Northwest for fur trading. These voyages, undertaken in the late 1780s, contributed to the early exploration and mapping of the region, and the establishment of British claims in the area. Specific details of her construction and ownership are scarce, but her role in the maritime fur trade is well documented in historical accounts of the era.
