Zusammenfassung:	Understanding the history of European contact with the Solomon Islands and the nature of the local peoples’ social, cultural and economic lives is important if we are to appreciate the challenges that faced Charles Woodford, first as a young self-funded naturalist, and later as a colonial administrator. This was a complex, often challenging environment for any outsider. The Solomon Islands were first sighted by European explorers when Alvaro de Mendaña de Neira and his company in two ships, the flagship Los Reyes (theCapitana) and the secondary shipTodos Santos(theAlmiranta), sighted Santa Ysabel (Isabel) Island in February 1568.
