Talk:Fort Victoria (British Columbia)

Flag

while the HBC flag is valid for the HBC, of course, given the title of the Crown Colony section, and his dual capacity as Chief Factor and as Governor, the flag of the Colony of Vancouver Island should also be here, no?Skookum1 (talk) 04:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Designated a National Historic Site?

This seems to imply that the structure is still standing. AFAIK, the only thing remaining is a mooring ring. Shouldn't there be something in the article about its dismantling? fishhead64 (talk) 18:29, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

A fuller material history of the fort is much wanting; I think it was torn down, overwhelmed by what is now "Olde Towne"/Old Victoria/Chinatown, sometime in the 1870s or even before; details of its structure and components and such, and more about its origin and location and other history like the bit about Tzouhalem here - and the transformation from a colonial fur capital to a booming town of 30,000 in one week....probably the most important fort history in BC to consider towards an FA or GA, the other would be Ft McLeod or Ft St James; maybe Fts Simpson, but given Victoria's primacy, it should in the long run have as much coverage as Ft Langley...even if unlike the latter it's not there anymore; and hasn't been in a long time. (right now the Fort Simpson-as-a-historical-fort article doesn't exist separately from Lax Kw'aalams) Skookum1 (talk) 13:54, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Also, being a National Historic Site doesn't imply a building; Yuquot is such a place, so are Silverdale, Hills Bar and Craigellachie. Well, at Craigellachie there's a cairn, true....Boat Encampment is also an NHS I think; and there's nothing there at all, other than maybe a sign like at Hills Bar and Craigellachie.Skookum1 (talk) 13:57, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
