Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DIXON, GEORGE (1755 ?1800) , English navigator. He served under Captain Cook in his:third expedition, during which he had an opportunity of learning the commercial capabilities of the north-west
coast
  of North America. After his return from Cook's expedition he became a captain in the royal navy. In the autumn of 1785 he sailed in the "Queen Charlotte," in the service of the King George's Sound Company of London, to explore the shores of the present British Columbia, with the
special
  object of developing the fur trade. His
chief
  discoveries were those of Queen Charlotte's Islands and Sound (the latter only partial), Port
Mulgrave
 , Norfolk Bay, and
Dixon
 's Entrance and Archipelago. After visiting China, where he disposed of his cargo, he returned to England (1788), and published (1799) A Voyage round the World, but more particularly to the North-West
Coast
  of America, the, bulk of which consists of descriptive letters by William Beresford, his supercargo. His,own contribution to the
work
  included valuable charts and appendices. He is usually, though not with absolute certainty, identified with the George
Dixon
  who was author of The Navigato>as Assistant (1791) and teacher of navigation at
Gosport
 .
