VH-KDK Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Looking up Puget Sound with KSEA clearly visibule. The sound was named by George Vancouver after Peter Puget who was a Huguenot lieutenant on the Vancouver Expedition in 1792. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Fantastic shot Martyn! Thanks for the info too. I had no idea who Puget Sound or Vancouver were named after. You learn something new every day, especially with the likes of you and Gerold around. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
