[CINC] Chumash, Channel Islands, and Robert Schwemmer featured!

[Paul Jr. Petrich]

Volunteers, trainees, and Maritime Historians, Prehistory: Pacific Seafarers and Maritime Cultures is the title of the just released Winter/Spring issue of the Mains'l Haul  journal published by the Maritime Museum of San Diego. It is a must read for anybody interested in the latest research about the interconnections between the geological, anthropological, and maritime histories of our Channel Islands in regard to the human populating of coastal North and South America.  Let these fascinating subtitles explain: The Deep History of Pacific Seafaring;  The Southern California Coast at the End of the last Ice Age;  Evidence of Prehistoric Native American Seafaring;  The Earliest European Contacts with the Chumash Islanders;  Getting to Know Daisy Cave (on San Miguel Island);  Land of the Lagoons: The Holocene Maritime of San Diego County (really a study of the coastal ecological changes in the Southern California Bight during the Holocene Age). Great photos and maps included! Robert Schwemmer of NOAA is given special thanks for "his mesmerizing views of the Channel Islands" and for his documentation of Chumash tomol canoe channel crossings. Dr. Jim Cassidy is recognized as co-editor for coordinating many of the articles, and contributing one, for editor-in-chief Neva Sullaway. Borders should have it.   Paul Petrich
