Captain H.H. Norwood was born in 1859 in Berwick, Nova Scotia. He arrived on October 8, 1897 in Skagway with Zachary Taylor Wood and Walsh of the NWMP. Captain Norwood had spent time on the Arctic Whaler “Balaena” with the famous Japanese explorer Jujiro Wada.
Norwood taught Jujiro Wada to speak English, nautical skills and navigation. Wada made good use of these skills during a long adventurous life in Alaska.

Norwood sold some lucrative claims in the north and retired to San Francisco, California and died in 1917 in Sonoma.
Did H H Norwood mush to Fairbanks when Wada told
him of the Fairbanks strike several days before others
in Dawson were told? Did H H Norwood keep a diary?
