This album is dedicated to all the Orcadians who travelled to Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries looking to improve their prospects and make a living in the fur trade.
These Orcadians were working for ‘The Hudson’s Bay Company’, formed in 1670 by French explorers Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Médard Chouart Des Groseilliers.
The port of Stromness, located in the West Mainland of Orkney, was the last stop for ships leaving Britain before they crossed the Atlantic Ocean and a recruitment office was set up in the town to sign up locals to work in the frozen north.
The Orcadians, who were used to living and working in a harsh climate, quickly became popular employees of the company and were offered better money and prospects than they could achieve in Orkney by making the move to Canada.
By 1800, 79% of the company’s employees were from Orkney, with Orcadians making up 418 of the 524 total staff.
