Welcome to a new Internet Dig – ‘Could You Survive the Trip to California?’

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:48AM PST (-0800 GMT)
From the 1400s to the late 1800s, the trip to reach California was extremely dangerous whether by land or by sea. In this DIG we are going to explore different dangers people faced over that 450 year period in their efforts to reach this New World. From the earliest explorers, to the period of Spanish Mission building, through the ownership by Mexico and into American statehood, MANY DANGERS lurked in the Channel waters. First there were only a few ships reaching the Channel waters, but travel to California increased greatly in the mid 1800s due to the discovery of GOLD! ….. Let’s learn about the perils of the Channel waters and the travelers and sailor’s experiences.

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:48AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#1 – When reaching California from the Atlantic, ships had to sail around the tip of South America. Terrible storms thrashed at the ships, threatening to throw them up on the rocky point. How many days did it take to sail to California from the East Coast of the United States in the early 1880s ? What were conditions like on the ship? button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#2 - What other ways did people use to reach California? And what dangers were associated with them ? Which would you have chosen ? button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#3 – Besides sailing to California to discover new lands, there was another new reason for sailing through the Channel waters in the 1500s-1800s. What was the main reason ships were passing through the Channel waters in the years before the Gold Rush ? button And what did these ships carry ? button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:49AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#4 – If you were lucky and made it all the way around South America and up into the Channel waters, another danger lurked around the islands – one no sailor or passenger ever hoped to encounter. What was this other danger ? Why did it take place in the Channel waters? button button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:50AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#5 – Before the Gold Rush, the ships that came to California were hunting and trading ships. Once these early first traders reached the Channel waters, many dangers could befall them. What danger from nature in the Channel waters was described in the famous book, Two Years Before the Mast ? button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:50AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#6 - During the early years of California settlement, when Spain ruled the land and the Mission were being built, there was illegal activities in the Channel waters that could be dangerous to come across. What illegal activities were going on – and why ? And why was it the Missions sometimes found these operations to be to their advantage – and not a threat ? button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:51AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#7 – If you not only made it around the tip of South America and into Pacific waters, or crossed at Panama and didn’t die of a tropical fever, and made it to California, and didn’t have a run-in with smugglers or pirates, there was yet ANOTHER danger you might face in the Channel waters – what was it ? button button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:51AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY #8 – The dangers in the Channel waters not only effected human beings. What other danger hit the Channel. What were the repercussions of this danger, and who did it impact directly on ? button button

Your Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 7:52AM PST (-0800 GMT)
DIG DISCOVERY#9 – In spite of these tremendous dangers, people DID come to California and passed through the Channel waters. If you were living along the Channel, and when out on a beach walk happened upon a washed-ashore treasure from a shipwreck, which of the goods that were carried on the different ships described above would you most like to have found ? What treasure would you most like to have found washed up on the beach?

RWMS Period 3: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 8:58AM PST (-0800 GMT)
1. It took at least 5 months for the people to travel from Europe to California. What other ways did people use to reach California? And what dangers were associated with them ? Which would you have chosen ? 2. The people would take wagons, ships, and mules. There were storms, diseases such a malaria and cholera. We would have prefered wagons going across the US.

Edwin & Daniel/Payne: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 9:13AM PST (-0800 GMT)
If you were lucky and made it all the way around South America and up into the Channel waters, another danger lurked around the island – one no sailor or passenger ever hoped to encounter. What was this other danger? Why did it take place in the Channel waters? The other danger was that the seas were full of roving robbers and murderers at every turn. It took place in the Channel waters because the dreaded pirates threatened and plagued settlements along to California’s coast.

Sara/Joseph/Payne/State St.: . . . . Tue, Dec 4, 9:18AM PST (-0800 GMT)
What other ways did people use to reach California? And what dangers were associated with them? Which would you have chosen? Some of them used sailing ships, wagons, and some went by boat and mule. The dangers that associated with their travel is that they had to sleep in a horrible, smelly, cramped quarters with complete strangers and with minimal food supplies for 5 months. I would have chosen a sailing ship to sail to California.

#4 One of the dangers that the people faced was bieng attacked and robbed by government sanctioned mercenaries. Even if they were fiercly guarded by armadas and they carried gold and silver. It took place in the Channel waters because almost every country sent war ships to get the treasures that were at the bottom of the waters. And some war ships stole the treasures that were aboard the ships that crossed them.

1. It took 5 months to travel from the East coast of the United States to California. 2. People took shortcuts, they traveled on foot, they even tried to take shortcuts on foot, but people didn't know what to expect on these shortcuts, plus they might get diseases. I would have taken what seems to be the best way, by ship. 3. Before the goldrush people traveled thourgh the Channel Islands because that was a trade route. The ships carrying rare and beautiful goods.

#2 The people could travel by boat, bull, sailing ship. If they took bulls then it would mean time away from sea or ocean. If they took boat or sailing ship then it would mean small food supply. I would choose the boat or sailing ship, because I like the sea.

#2-The other ways people reached California are by foot, ships, wagons, boats and mules. The dangers were dieing of starvation, many caught gold fever,and in the 1850s murder became common. On a trip to California we would probably choose ships because that would be the safest way, although it is possible that we might of died of starvation.

Sharon-Jenny-Tulsa-JPerine: . . . . Wed, Dec 5, 11:21AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Some of them used sailing ships, wagons, and some went by boat and mule. The dangers that associated with their travels is that they had to sleep in a horrible, smell, cramped quaters with complete strangers and minimal food supplies for five months. We would have chosen a sailing ship to sail California.

Taylor-Brianne-tulsa-JPerine: . . . . Wed, Dec 5, 11:24AM PST (-0800 GMT)
2# Another way people reached Calforina was by foot, ships, boats,wagons,and mules. Some dangers that were associatd with them were they might die of starvation.Another one is they might get murdered in the 1850s, and some got gold fevers. I would take a ship because it is faster and walking makes you tired. So that is why I would take a ship.

christina-tulsa-JPerine: . . . . Wed, Dec 5, 11:36AM PST (-0800 GMT)

chelsea-noelle-tulsa-jperine: . . . . Wed, Dec 5, 11:43AM PST (-0800 GMT)
#3- The reason that the ships passed through the Channel was because of the European exploration to find the route to the Orient to exploit its treasures. The treasures were gold jewelry, Chinese silk and rugs, porcelain, ivory from Cambodia, cottons from India, Jade, camphor, cinnamon, cloves from the Spice Islands, and precious jewels from Burma.

3.One reason continued passage through the Channel by Spanish ships was the discovery an ocean current route from Mexico, to Central America, across the Pacific to the Philippines, and then easterly back across the Pacific to the waters off California, and then returning to Mexico. 3.They carried back to Europe, by way of California’s coast, splendid treasures that were highly prized in Europe. 4.The Spanish ships were constantly at risk because they were getting attacked. 4.Compton targeted the Manila Galleon, San Sebastian, in the Channel, and chased it until they sank it off the coast of San Clemente Island.

4. The danger that lurked around the Channel waters was pirates. They chose the Channel waters because that is where ships passed thourgh. 5. The weather was a danger in the Channel waters. Weather such as wind rain and so on.

#5 It was In This Section...Writers in the ChannelTwo Years Before the MastTreasure IslandZorro StudiesRamonaIsland of the Blue DolphinsThe Rainbow BridgeCoyote Saves XelixGabrielino Coyote Stories Two Years Before the Mast Chapter 10: A South-Easter - Passage up the Coast This night, after sundown, it looked black at the southward and eastward, and we were told to keep a bright look-out. Expecting to be called up, we turned in early. Walking up about midnight, I found a man who had just come down form his watch striking a light. He said that it was beginning to puff up from the southeast, and that the sea was rolling in, and he had called the captain; and as he threw himself down on his chest with all his clothes on, I knew that he expected to be called. I felt the vessel pitching at her anchor, and the chain surging and snapping, and lay awake, expecting an instant, summons. In a few minutes it came - three knocks on the scuttle, and "All hands ahoy! bear-a-hand up and make sail." We sprang up for our clothes, and were about half way dressed, when the mate called out, down the scuttle, "Tumble up here, men! tumble up! before she drags her anchor." We were on deck in an instant. "Lay aloft and loose the topsails!" shouted the captain, as soon as the first man showed himself. Springing into the rigging, I saw that the Ayacucho's topsails were loosed, and heard her crew singing-out at the sheets as they were hauling them home. This had probably started our captain; as "old Wilson" (the captain of the Ayacucho) had been many years on the coast, and knew the signs of the weather. We soon had the topsails loosed; and one hand remaining, as usual, in each top, to overhaul the ringing and light the sail out, the rest of us came down to man the sheets. While sheeting home, we saw the Ayacucho standing athwart our hawse, sharp upon the wind, cutting through the head seas like a knife, with her raking masts and sharp bows running up like the head of a greyhound. It was a beautiful sight. She was like a bird which had been frightened and had spread her wings in flight. After the topsails had been sheeted home, the head yards braced aback, the fore-top-mast staysail hoisted, and the buoys streamed, and all ready forward, for slipping, we went aft and manned the slip-rope which came through the stern port with a turn round the timber-heads. "All ready forward?" asked the captain. "Aye, aye, sir; all ready," answered the mate. "Let go!" "All gone, sir;" and the iron cable grated over the windlass and through the hawse-hole, and the little vessel's head swinging off from the wind under the force of her backed head sails, brought the strain upon the slip-rope "Let go aft!" Instantly all was gone, and we were under weigh. As soon as she was well off from the wind, we filled away the head yards, braced all up sharp, set the foresail and trysail, and left our anchorage well astern, giving the point a good berth. "Nye's off too," said the captain to the mate; and looking astern we could just see the little hermaphrodite brig under sail standing after us. It now began to blow fresh; the rain fell fast, and it grew very black; but the captain would not take in sail until we were well clear of the point.
