With John Morton and his brother-in-law Samuel Brighouse he sailed on the maiden voyage of the Great Eastern to New York in 1862.

They travelled to Vancouver via the Isthmus of Panama. Noticing coal they preempted 550 acres of land between Burrard Street and Stanley Park later to become known as the Brickmakers Claim.
