José María Narváez
José María Narváez (1768 – August 4, 1840) was a Spanish naval officer, explorer, and navigator notable for his work in the Gulf Islands and Lower Mainland of present-day British Columbia. In 1791, as commander of the schooner ''Santa Saturnina'', he led the first European exploration of the Strait of Georgia, including a landing on present-day British Columbia's Sunshine Coast.〔Little, Gary. ("José María Narváez: European Discoverer of the Sunshine Coast" )〕 He also entered Burrard Inlet, the site of present-day Vancouver, British Columbia.
==Early career==
Narváez was born in Cádiz, Spain in 1768. He was admitted to the Royal (Naval) Academy for midshipmen in 1782. Within the year, he was at sea and engaged in naval combat.
In 1784 Narváez was sent to New Spain, where his first station was at Havana. For three years he served aboard supply ships working the ports of Veracruz, New Orleans, Mantanzas, Campeche, Roatán, and Trujillo. In November 1787, he was promoted to ''segundo piloto havilitado'' (qualified second pilot—''piloto'' in Spanish being equivalent to master in English) and reassigned to San Blas, at the time the main Spanish naval base on the west coast of Mexico. He arrived in early 1788. Within the month, he sailed north as a pilot to Gonzalo López de Haro, commander of the ''San Carlos''.
