From the musical, "Explorer Idol" - www.canadianamusical.com.

In 1778, Captain Cook, William Bligh, and George Vancouver were the first British sailors to arrive at Vancouver Island. These reknowned navigators and chartmakers greatly benefitted from John Harrison's new invention, the Chronometer (Sea Clock) . The first clock to keep accurate time at sea, it gave sailors the means to measure distance East or West from their starting point; their longitude.
In 1964, the Beatles arrived in North America.
