The Lewis and Clark Expedition, exploring the western portion of the United States, reaches the Pacific Ocean after a journey of about 18 months, arriving at the mouth of the Columbia River and sighted the immense blue ocean they had been searching for. They had reached the Pacific near Chinook Point, which is in present-day Washington, close to where the Columbia River meets the ocean.
