Milton 11-29-01 1. On June 27, 1542, an explorer under Spanish command, named Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo, left the port of Navidad on the Pacific Coast of what is now Mexico and headed north. 2. The Chumash first encountered the European explorers when Juan Cabrillo (or Jaoa Cabrilho as some historians believe he was a Portuguese explorer in the services of Spain, who was searching for a new route to China) sailed into the Channel in 1542. 3. Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd; as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception (Devil's Jaws). 4. The British explorers, Sir Francis Drake, sailed up the coast of California in 1579. It is possible he traveled through the Channel in his voyage. A recent archeological discovery suggests there is a possibility that Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind visited the Channel in the late 1500s. 5. In 1602 San Salvador was rediscovered by Sebastian Viscaino, and his arrival coincided with the holiday of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and in her honor he named the island Santa Catalina in his native language, Spanish. 6. Viscaino traveled with three Carmelite Priests, who recounted their experience on Santa Catalina. They described the generosity of the Pimugans, the feasting, and the kindness shown to them. They also encountered an unusual enclosure, apparently a temple, surrounded by feathers, and with paintings of a sun and moon on opposite sides of the temple enclosure, possibly sand paintings. 7. Richard Henry Dana, the second of that name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 1, 1815. He came of a stock that had resided there since the days of the early settlements; his grandfather, Francis Dana, had been the first American minister to Russia and later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; his father was distinguished as a man of letters. 8. This being the spring season, San Pedro, as well as all the other open ports upon the coast, was filled with whales that had come in to make their annual visit upon soundings. 9.

1. Cabrillo never made it to Asia, but he did discover a large portion of the western edge of the continent. He was the first European to sail into the California Channels - both the San Pedro and Santa Barbara Channels - and to visit the Channel Island Archipelago. He and his crew were also the first Europeans to have contact with the Native Americans - Pimugans on Catalina, and Chumash in the Santa Barbara area. 2. The Chumash first encountered the European explorers when Juan Cabrillo ( or Jaoa Cabrilho as some historians believe he was a Portuguese explorer in the services of Spain, who was searching for a new route to China) sailed into the Channel in 1542. Siting San Clemente and Catalina Islands on October 7th, his ships La Victoria and the San Salvador ( which were the name. he first gave to Clemente and Catalina ) dropped anchor first in the Channel at San Pedro Bay on Catalina. His crew had a peaceful exchange with the Pimugans / Gabrielinos on Catalina that day. The next day he headed back towards the mainland, and then chose to continue up the coast and sailed into the Santa Barbara Channel on October 10th . The Chumash had been hearing of the bearded strangers through traders arriving from the south where Spain had established a colonial empire in Mexico, which was soon to spread into what is now California. Cabrillo and his crew sailed further north, returning to the Channel for the winter. Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd, as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception ( Devil's Jaws ). 4. The British explorer, Sir Francis Drake, sailed up the coast of California in 1579.is possible he traveled through the Channel in his voyage. A recent archeological discovery suggests there is a possibility that Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind visited the Channel in the late 1500s. 5. After Cabrillo's stop at Santa Catalina, which he had named San Salvador, sixty years - a full two generations - passed before Spain sent any explorers into the Channel. In 1602 San Salvador was rediscovered by Sebastian Viscaino , and his arrival coincided with the holiday of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and in her honor he named the island Santa Catalina 6. Richard Henry Dana, the second of that name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 1, 1815. He came of a stock that had resided there since the days of the early settlements; his grandfather, Francis Dana, had been the first American minister to Russia and later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; his father was distinguished as a man of letters. 7.Viscaino traveled with three Carmelite Priests, who recounted their experience on Santa Catalina. They described the generosity of the Pimugans, the feasting, and the kindness shown to them. They also encountered an unusual enclosure, apparently a temple, surrounded by feathers, and with paintings of a sun and moon on opposite sides of the temple enclosure, possibly sand paintings. *8. This being the spring season, Sa Pedro, as well as all the other open ports upon the coast, was filled with whales, that had come in to make their annual visit upon soundings. For the first few days that we were here and at Santa Barbara, we watched them with great interest - calling out "there she blows!" every time we saw the spout of one breaking the surface of the water; but they soon became so common that we took little notice of them.

1. Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo's party set sail with some 250 men. 2. The Chumash first encountered the European explorers when Juan Cabrillo ( or Jaoa Cabrilho as some historians believe he was a Portuguese explorer in the services of Spain, who was searching for a new route to China) sailed into the Channel in 1542. Siting San Clemente and Catalina Islands on October 7th, hisships La Victoria and the San Salvador ( which were the names he first gave to Clemente and Catalina ) dropped anchor first in the Channel at San Pedro Bay on Catalina. His crew had a peaceful exchange with the Pimugans / Gabrielinos on Catalina that day.

Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd, as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception (Devil's Jaws). 4. The British explorer, Sir Francis Drake, sailed up the coast of California in 1579. Adding to the theory that Drake visited the Channel, back in 1891,woodcutters working nearby in the Goleta Slough found a Sixteenth Century anchor in the mud near where a natural spring had fed into the slough. It is known that the Golden Hind did stop for emergency repairs in a bay somewhere along the shores of Alta California, and that when it returned to England, the Hind was missing five canon and an anchor. 5. In 1602 San Salvador was rediscovered by Sebastian Viscaino, and his arrival coincided with the holiday of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and in her honor he named the island Santa Catalina in his native language, Spanish. He also named San Nicholas and Santa Barbara Islands. 6. Viscaino traveled with three Carmelite Priests, who recounted their experience on Santa Catalina. They described the generosity of the Pimugans, the feasting, and the kindness shown to them. They also encountered an unusual enclosure, apparently a temple, surrounded by feathers, and with paintings of a sun and moon on opposite sides of the temple enclosure, possibly sand paintings. 7. Richard Henry Dana, the second of that name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 1, 1815. Tired of the tedium of a slow convalescence, he decided on a sea voyage; and choosing to go as a sailor rather than a passenger, he shipped from Boston on August 14, 1834, on the brig "Pilgrim, bound for the coast of California. His experiences for the next two years form the subject of the present volume. While in the law school he had written out the narrative of his voyage, which he now published; and in the following year, 1841, issued "The Seaman's Friend." 8. This being the spring season, San Pedro, as well as all the other open ports upon the coast, was filled with whales, that had come in to make their annual visit upon soundings. For the first few days that we were here and at Santa Barbara, we watched them with great interest - calling out "there she blows!" every time we saw the spout of one breaking the surface of the water; but they soon became so common that we took little notice of them. They often "broke" very near us; and one thick, foggy night, during a dead calm, while I was standing anchor-watch, one of them rose so near, that he struck our cable, and made all surge again. He did not seem to like the encounter much himself, for he sheered off, and spouted at a good distance.

#1 - Who was the first European Explore to visit the Channel waters ? And how many men where on his ship? Cabrillo never made it to Asia, but he did discover a large portion of the western edge of the continent. He was the first European to sail into the California Channels - both the San Pedro and Santa Barbara Channels - and to visit the Channel Island archipelago. He and his crew were also the first Europeans to have contact with the Native Americans - Pimugans on Catalina, and Chumash in the Santa Barbara area . #2 - What year did this first explorer arrive in Channel waters and what places did he come ashore ? What native peoples did he meet? The Chumash first encountered the European explorers when Juan Cabrillo ( or Jaoa Cabrilho as some historians believe he was a Portuguese explorer in the services of Spain, who was searching for a new route to China) sailed into the Channel in 1542. #3 - What happened to this first explorer in the Channel Islands that prevented him from returning to Europe? The Chumash had been hearing of the bearded strangers through traders arriving from the south where Spain had established a colonial empire in Mexico, which was soon tospread into what is now California. Cabrillo and his crew sailed further north, returning to the Channel for the winter. Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd, as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception ( Devil's Jaws ). #4 - A now famous English Captain sailed into the Channel waters in 1579. Who was he ? And what is the controversy about his landing in California ? The British explorer, Sir Francis Drake, sailed up the coast of California in 1579. #5 - Who is the third explorer from Europe to come into the Channel waters, when did he arrive, and what three islands did he name ? After Cabrillo's stop at Santa Catalina, which he had named San Salvador, sixty years - a full two generations - passed before Spain sent any explorers into the Channel. In 1602 San Salvador was rediscovered by Sebastian Viscaino, and his arrival coincided with the holiday of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and in her honor he named the island Santa Catalina in his native language, Spanish. #6 - What unusual construction and art images did this explorer's men see when visiting the native peoples? Viscaino traveled with three Carmelite Priests, who recounted their experience on Santa Catalina. They described the generosity of the Pimugans, the feasting, and the kindness shown to them. They also encountered an unusual enclosure,apparently a temple, surrounded by feathers, and with paintings of a sun and a moon. #7 - Some years later, an American sailor visited the Channel waters during the Spanish rancho era after small settlements had been established.

1. An explorer under Spanish command, named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, left the port of Navidad on the Pacific Coast of what is now Mexico and headed north. Cabrillo's party set sail with some 250 men in at least three ships. 2. The Chumash first encountered the European explorers when Juan Cabrillo (or Jaoa Cabrillo as some historians believe he was a Portuguese explorer in the services of Spain, who was searching for a new route to China) sailed into the Channel in 1542.

Cabrillo and his crew sailed further north, returning to the Channel for the winter. Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd; as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception (Devil's Jaws). 3.

He next took up the study of law, at the same time teaching elocution in the College, and in 1840 he opened an office in Boston. While in the law school he had written out the narrative of his voyage, which he now published and in the following year, 1841, issued "The Seaman's Friend." Both books were republished in England, and brought him an immediate reputation. After several years of the practice of law, during which he dealt largely with cases involving the rights of seamen, he began to take part in politics as an active member of the Free-Soil Party. During the operation of the Fugitive-Slave Law he acted as counsel in behalf of the fugitives Shadrach, Sims, and Burns, and on one occasion suffered serious assault as a consequence of his zeal. His prominence in these cases, along with his fame as a writer, brought him much social recognition on his visit to England in 1856. Three years later, his health gave way from overwork, and he set out on a voyage round the world, revisiting California, where he made the observations, which appear in the postscript to this book. On his return, Dana was appointed by Lincoln United States District Attorney for Massachusetts; and in his arguments before the Supreme Court in Washington in connection with the "Prize causes," dealing with the capture of private property at sea in time of war, he greatly increased an already brilliant legal reputation. After the close of the War he resigned his office of District Attorney, as he could not approve of President Johnson's policy of Reconstruction, and returned to private practice. This he relinquished in 1878, in order to go to Europe to devote himself to the preparation of a treatise on international law; but the actual composition of this work was little more than begun when he died in Rome, January 6, 1882, and was buried in the Protestant Cemetery, where lie the ashes of Keats and Shelley. The record of Dana's life agrees with the picture of his temperament, which he unconsciously painted in his first and greatest book. The ready sympathy for the suffering and the oppressed, the courage, unselfishness, and fair-mindedness which he exhibited on the merchant vessel when a boy of twenty, continued to characterize him throughout his long and distinguished career as lawyer and citizen. The merit of "Two Years Before the Mast" was recognized in both America and England immediately after its appearance, and it at once took rank as the most vivid and accurate picture in literature of the side of life it sought to portray. W. Clark Russell, himself one of the best writers of sea-stories in English, called it "the greatest sea-book that was ever written in any language," and the convincing detail of its narrative led to comparisons with the masterpiece of Defoe. Its value and interest today are even greater than they were when it was written; for, while the purely human element remains the same, the account of the routine on board the old sailing ships, the picture of the trading on the coast of California, and the description of the country in the days before the discovery of gold had transformed its civilization, have all acquired an historical importance. Much is added, also, by the unaffected literary skill of the narrator. Such episodes as the flogging of Sam and John the Swede, the dry gale off Point Conception, the wedding fandango at Santa Barbara, the Kanakas in the oven, the funeral in San Pedro, the rounding of Cape Horn in the "Alert," have passed into the list of the memorable things in literature. This being the spring season, San Pedro, as well as all the other open ports upon the coast, was filled with whales that had come in to make their annual visit upon soundings. For the first few days that we were here and at Santa Barbara, we watched them with great interest - calling out "there she blows!" every time we saw the spout of one breaking the surface of the water; but they soon became so common that we took little notice of them. They often "broke" very near us; and one thick, foggy night, during a dead calm, while I was standing anchor-watch, one of them rose so near, that he struck our cable, and made all surge again. He did not seem to like the encounter much himself, for he sheered off, and spouted at a good distance. We once came very near running one down in the gig, and should probably have been knocked to pieces and blown sky-high. We had been on board the little Spanish brig, and were returning, stretching out well at our oars, the little boat going like a swallow; our backs were forward, (as is always the case in pulling,) and the captain, who was steering, was not looking ahead, when, all at once, we heard the spout of a whale directly ahead. "Back water! Back water, for your lives!" Shouted the captain; and we backed our blades in the water and brought the boat to in a smother of foam. Turning our heads, we saw a great, rough, hump-backed whale, slowly crossing our fore foot, within three or four yards of the boat's stem. Had we not backed water just as we did, we should inevitably have gone smash upon him, striking him with our stem just about amidships. He took no notice of us, but passed slowly on, and dived a few yards beyond us, throwing his tail high in the air. He was so near that we had a perfect view of him and as may be supposed, had no desire to see him nearer. He was a disgusting creature; with a skin rough, hairy, and of an iron-gray color. This kind differs much from the sperm, in color and skin, and is said to be fiercer. We was a few sperm whales; but most of the whales that come upon the coast are fin-backs, hump-backs, and right-whales, which are more difficult to take, and are said not to give oil enough to pay for the trouble. For this reason whale-ships do not come upon the coast after them. Our captain, together with Captain Nye of the Loriotte, who had been in a whale-ship, thought of making an attempt upon one of them with two boats' crews, but as we had only two harpoons and no proper lines, they gave it up. During the months of March, April, and May, these whales appear in great numbers in the open ports of Santa Barbara, San Pedro, etc., and hover off the coast, while a few find their way into the close harbors of San Diego and Monterey. They are all off again before midsummer, and make their appearance on the "off-shore ground." We saw some fine "schools" of sperm whales, which are easily distinguished by their spout, blowing away, a few miles to windward, on our passage to San Juan.

BY: JONATHAN WORK 1. Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo never made it to Asia, but he did discover a large portion of the western edge of the continent. He was the first European to sail into the California Channels - both the San Pedro and Santa Barbara Channels - and to visit the Channel Island archipelago. He and his crew were also the first Europeans to have contact with the Native Americans - Pimugans on Catalina, and Chumash in the Santa Barbara area . 2. Siting San Clemente and Catalina Islands on October 7th, his ships La Victoria and the San Salvador ( which were the names he first gave to Clemente and Catalina ) dropped anchor first in the Channel at San Pedro Bay on Catalina. His crew had a peaceful exchange with the Pimugans / Gabrielinos on Catalina that day. The next day he headed back towards the mainland, and then chose to continue up the coast and sailed into the Santa Barbara Channel on October 10th. 3. The Chumash had been hearing of the bearded strangers through traders arriving from the south where Spain had established a colonial empire in Mexico, which was soon to spread into what is now California. Cabrillo and his crew sailed further north, returning to the Channel for the winter. Cabrillo is thought to have died on San Miguel Island or Santa Catalina Island January 3rd, as a result of a shoulder injury he had sustained several months earlier during rough waters off Point Conception ( Devil's Jaws ). 4. The British explorer, Sir Francis Drake, sailed up the coast of California in 1579. On January 21, 1981, a beachwalker found two rock encrusted objects about a half mile east of Goleta Beach Park. Returning the next day at low tide, he found three more exposed by the scouring surf. 5. In 1602 San Salvador was rediscovered by Sebastian Viscaino, and his arrival coincided with the holiday of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and in her honor he named the island Santa Catalina in his native language, Spanish. 6. Viscaino traveled with three Carmelite Priests, who recounted their experience on Santa Catalina. They described the generosity of the Pimugans, the feasting, and the kindness shown to them. They also encountered an unusual enclosure, apparently a temple, surrounded by feathers, and with paintings of a sun and moon on opposite sides of the temple enclosure, possibly sand paintings. 7.

Richard Henry Dana, the second of that name, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 1, 1815. He came of a stock that had resided there since the days of the early settlements; his grandfather, Francis Dana, had been the first American minister to Russia and later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; his father was distinguished as a man of letters. He entered Harvard College in 1831; but near the beginning of his third year an attack of measles left his eyesight so weak that study was impossible. Tired of the tedium of a slow convalescence, he decided on a sea voyage; and choosing to go as a sailor rather than a passenger, he shipped from Boston on August 14, 1834, on the brig "Pilgrim," bound for the coast of California. His experiences for the next two years form the subject of the present volume.

This being the spring season, San Pedro, as well as all the other open ports upon the coast, was filled with whales, that had come in to make their annual visit upon soundings. For the first few days that we were here and at Santa Barbara, we watched them with great interest - calling out "there she blows!"

On June 27, 1542, an explorer under Spanish command, named Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo, left the port of Navidad on the Pacific Coast of what is now Mexico and headed north. The general outline of North America had yet to be determined, and Cabrillo’s task as commander of the expedition was to search for an alternative route to reach the treasures of China, thought to be just beyond the last outpost of Spanish discovery on the coast of Baja California.
