"This property was part of the original homestead of Johan (John) Eik who arrived in Clayoquot Sound aboard his own sailing sloop. This was not John’s first visit to the area, however. After leaving his homeland of Norway in 1891, at age 22, he landed in New York and travelled to Seattle where he worked on halibut schooners fishing as far north as the Bering Sea. On one voyage the schooner sought shelter in Clayoquot Sound and John decided he would someday return."
