Baking Sea Biscuits: Ranger-led Bake House Demo
This event has already occurred. This page is provided for reference only.
Sea biscuits, made of just flour and water, sustained fur trappers and traders as an emergency food source while on trapping brigades or on long journeys by ship. This rock-hard, plain food was also called hardtack by American settlers. Employees at the British Hudson's Bay Company continued a tradition, began by the dozens of regional Indigenous tribes, of utilizing the Columbia River as a major trade route connecting the Pacific Northwest to the world. Visit Fort Vancouver on Saturday, November 13 from 10 am to 2 pm to view Baking Sea Biscuits: a Ranger-led Bake House Demo. Sea biscuits are for demonstration only, not for consumption.
