Mount Edgcombe is now known as Mount Edgecumbe and is a dormant volcano on Kruzof Island in present-day Alaska near the city of Sitka.Beresford was supercargo on the Queen Charlotte, the ship of which Dixon was captain. Dixon edited Beresford's letters and added the maps and the navigational and natural history information. The goal of the voyage was to establish a fur trade along the northwest coast for King George's Sound Company in which Dixon was a partner.Engraver may be Inigo Barlow, active 1790.
