MALESPINA - Juan De Fuca - Quadra
Nachricht Von Der Entdeckungsreise Zweier Spanisher Schiffe Nach Der Nordkueste Von Amerika Im Jahre 1792. Notice of Spanish Voyages to the North Coast of North America in 1792
8vo, 16 pages, contained in a complete 200 page monthly issue of the Geographische phemeriden, attractively bound in brown cloth with marbled boards and gilt spine. Very good condition and very crisp inside. Text in German. This is the 1804 Edition of an obscure and rare Geographical publication issued in Weimar/ Germany in the late 1700's and early 1800's named 'Geographische Ephemeriden.' It contains a portrait of Hernando Maghellan and a 16 page report about the Spanish Voyages to North America. Little was known about these Spanish voyages as the Spanish kept things secret. In 1791, Alessandro Malaspina undertook a search for the Northwest Passage. He surveyed the Alaska coast from Yakutat Bay to Prince William Sound. At Yakutat Bay, the expedition made contact with the Tlingit. The expedition's scientists made a study of the tribe, recording information on social mores, language, economy, warfare methods, and burial practices. During the return to Mexico, Malaspina's expedition spent a month at the Spanish outpost in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island (see below). The expedition made a study of the Nootka. The two ships then sailed south to Mexico, stopping at the Spanish settlement and mission at Monterey, California on the way. Simultaneously an expedition under Francisco de Eliza, exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered an entrance to the Strait of Georgia, which prompted further investigation. In Acapulco, Malaspina took over two schooners, the Sutil and Mexicana, placed them under the command of one of his officers, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano, and had them sail north to explore the Strait of Georgia. Galiano's expedition took place in 1792 at the same time as that of George Vancouver. The two expeditions met in the Strait of Georgia and worked together to map the waters and establish the insularity of Vancouver Island
