I think if we can set a template, we can set a, uh, in motion that, uh, we can get one done, and, you know, basically dismiss the errors of the past, uh, the likelihood of, uh, a pros- a project such as, uh, Port Nelson or Port, uh, in Churchill, especially to European and even Asian markets, becomes-

And that ancient and honorable body, as the company was called, reaped enormous profits from the bartering of pelts.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
15:01
But the bartering went on in a prosy, half-alive way, the traders sitting snugly in their forts on Rupert and Severn Rivers or at York Factory, Port Nelson, and Churchill, Prince of Wales.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
15:15
The French governor down in Quebec issued only a limited number of licenses for the fur trade in Canada, and the old English company had no fear of rivalry in the north.

William TomkoNARRATOR
58:49
Iberville seems to have exerted his influence to restrain the savagery of the Indians and save the life of at least one Englishman.
William TomkoNARRATOR
58:57
It seems that the success of the young Canadian had attracted attention in France, and when, in 1691, through the efforts of the Northern Company, Louis XIV had decided to recover Port Nelson, Hudson Bay, from the English, Dutaste came to Quebec with 14 sail.
William TomkoNARRATOR
59:16
It was with express orders that Iberville should be entrusted with a share of the work and glory.
William TomkoNARRATOR
59:22
Dutaste objected to such division of honor, and by plausible objections as to the lateness of the season, although it was only the 16th of July, succeeded in delaying the departure of the expedition for that year.
William TomkoNARRATOR
59:35
Iberville seemed determined to show the speciousness of the reasons, for he made a trip to the bay and brought back in 1691 two ships loaded with furs, much to the consolation of Frontenac.
William TomkoNARRATOR
59:48
He immediately went to France to advance the expedition against Port Nelson, which he knew was much favored at court.
William TomkoNARRATOR
59:55
Iberville found favor with the king, who gave him two ships for the reduction of Port Nelson and orders to guard it after reduction.
William TomkoNARRATOR
60:03
Delays in France and contrary winds on the Atlantic brought Iberville to Quebec only in October, far too late for the safe navigation of Hudson Bay.
