A propos de cet article

The preferred large-paper Admiralty issue of Beechey's famous account, including a description of California. This narrative offers an extensive account of exploration of the Pacific Northwest coast from Alaska to California, including important descriptions of Alaskan Eskimos, Monterey, San Francisco and several Pacific islands, including Hawaii. In 1825, Frederick William Beechey was given command of HMS Blossom, assigned to sail around Cape Horn to the Bering Strait, where he was to provide support for two expeditions seeking the Northwest Passage one under the command of William Parry and the other under the command of John Franklin. Neither Parry nor Franklin completed their journey. Franklin s journey got trapped near Beechey Island, which Beechey himself had named for his father, when serving as a Lieutenant under William Parry, in Parry s 1819 voyage through the Parry Strait. In his journey, Beechey explored the west coast of North America extensively, as well as many Pacific Islands. His travelogue discussed his voyages in detail. It includes descriptions of California, including visits to Monterey and two visits to San Francisco, at that time a Mexican possession with two main establishments, the Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores), and the Presidio fort near the tip of the peninsula. (The settlement of Yerba Buena, which would become the downtown of today s San Francisco, would not be established until 1835.) His travelogue also includes descriptions of the Eskimos he met, as well as his visits to the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Society Islands and Tahiti, Alaska, Hawaii, Macao, Okinawa, and to Pitcairn Island, where he met the last survivor of the mutiny on the HMS Bounty, John Adams, who told Beechey his story, which Beechey recorded. Provenance: High Latitude, Bainbridge Island; Martin Greene Library (Christie s Dec. 2017).…
