Joseph Whidbey (1757 – October 9, 1833)

Joseph Whidbey was a member of the Royal Navy who served on the Vancouver Expedition from 1791–1795, and later achieved renown as a naval engineer.  He is notable for having been the first European to discover and chart Alaska's Admirality Island in the Alexander Archipelago in 1794.  In 1792, Whidbey accompanied Lieutenant Peter Puget in small boats to explore what was later named Puget Sound.  On June 2, the team discovered Deception Pass, establishing the insularity of the Sound's largest island, which Captain George Vancouver named Whidbey Island.
