Synopsis
A Maritime History of Baja California describes the most important harbors and anchorages of the Baja California peninsula by charts, maps, satellite imagery, and photos. The history of each of those places is developed by recording, in chronological order, the most important ships to have touched that anchorage. The visits in the 1500s by Spanish explorers including Ulloa, Cort s, and Cabrillo, as well as assaults by pirates, all contribute to the rich history of the peninsula. The entradas of the mission ships, otter hunters, and whalers are also described. The ships of the U.S. Navy and their assaults on San Jos del Cabo, La Paz, and Muleg are recorded. The "Concessions" to American and British companies and their influence on maritime trade is an important part of the story as is the era of the Gold Rush Steamers. The history of each harbor is brought up-to-date with photos and information on the many U.S. military ships, including the "Great White Fleet," to call at these ports. The impact of the fishing industry, yachts, sport fishers, and cruise ships on the peninsular waters, ports, and cities brings the book into the modern era., A Maritime History of Baja California describes the most important harbors and anchorages of the Baja California peninsula by charts, maps, satellite imagery, and photos.

    The book, First Christmas, by Tomie dePaola, arrived earlier than expected and in pristine condition. The seller was both honest and fair in our dealings. I had requested Priority Mailing. She unintentionally missed the request. After mailing, the seller realized the mistake and immediately notified me. She apologized and refunded the expense of Priority Postage! The book arrived in plenty of time! If opportunity arose to purchase from evesbookgarden again, I certainly would!

    Das Buch entspricht genau der Beschreibung, ich bin sehr glücklich über die Erwerbung. Die Kommunikation mit dem Verkäufer war sehr angenehm und Rückmeldungen erfolgten angemessen zeitnah. Insbesondere die gute Kooperation möchte ich erwähnen, welche der Verkäufer in der Bewältigung eines Problems mit dem Zoll bei der Einfuhrprozedur gezeigt hat. Sehr angenehmes Geschäftsverhältnis, Danke!
