What Happened to James Knight’s 1719 Northwest Passage Expedition? James Knight’s 1719 Northwest Passage expedition wrecked at Marble Island in today’s Nunavut, where the survivors built a shelter and tried to overwinter. According to Inuit accounts later recorded by explorer Samuel Hearne, their numbers dwindled over two winters, and by the summer of 1721 all had died. The story is supported by Hearne’s interviews and by the remains of the ships and camp seen on Marble Island, rather than by any written message left by the crew.

A lost Northwest Passage voyage, a wreck at Marble Island, Inuit encounters, and a mystery that lingered for centuries—here’s what we now know about James Knight’s 1719 expedition. #HudsonsBayCompany #Inuit #JamesKnight #MarbleIsland #NorthwestPassage

Well, it’s the end of an era. Even though the Hudson’s Bay Company has deep roots in colonialism, there’s no denying it’s been an iconic Canadian brand for 355 years - and it’s weird to see it go. Had to snap a pic of the shuttered doors today. 🛍️🛒 #HBC #HudsonsBay #HudsonsBayCompany #TheBay

Since it’s the last day of the Hudson Bay Company’s retail locations, i think it’s worth noting we’re witnessing the death of one of major engines of colonization and capitalism on turtle island.

From 1670 to 1870, Rupert’s Land was exclusive commercial domain of the HBC. #hudsonsbaycompany #hbc

Hudson’s Bay to auction off artifacts, including 1670 charter Retailer says auction will take place separately from the sale process for all or part of its assets and operations

I was a courier in Toronto in 2000/ 2001. I'd deliver mail to HBC's corporate headquarters. They had the HBC charter in a display case in their lobby. I hope it is obtained by Canada and put in a museum.

This week on #Substack, I encounter a ghost of #HudsonsBay and its failed entry into the #Dutch market. Read about #HBC's expansion into #TheNetherlands and the relic it left behind. #RetailNews #HudsonsBayCompany #DepartmentStore frommiradouroswithlove.substack.com/p/chapter-13...

The armies of prematurely retired mannequins @hudsonsbay.bsky.social are plotting their next move, and it looks… intriguing.
