Fort McLoughlin [SEP] Closure
Fort McLoughlin was closed by Sir George Simpson in the early 1840s because the HBC's steamship "Beaver" was able to collect furs along the coast without the need for permanent posts. Although the fort was said to be wholly abandoned in 1843 with its men and stores transferred to establish Fort Victoria, certain of its articles were transferred to Fort Rupert in 1849 and the site remained in use from time to time until 1878. One report states that the Heiltsuk burned the abandoned fort; ""The Indians who had gathered around the fort, left to their own devices, immediately burned it down to obtain the iron used in its construction, and nothing now remains of this early trading post"." The Hudson's Bay Company had a change of heart, and established a store on the site of the former fort.
