Warburton Pike

Warburton Mayer Pike (1861-1915) was an English explorer of British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic.

His father (John William Pike) a ball clay merchant died in 1869, making Warburton and his siblings orphans.

Pike committed suicide in the sea at Bournemouth in 1915, after being refused entry into the army due to ill health.

There is a memorial to him at Dease Lake near Cassiar on the British Columbian mainland.

His grave is under a plain little stone cross in a Bournemouth (UK) public cemetery.
