NEWPORT-BALBOA BAY
It was in 1542 that Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo sailed up the coast
of California to reach the latitude of San Francisco Bay. Here L
he was forced by severe storms to return to San Miguel Island
where he died in 1543. For nearly seventy years the Spaniards
held undisputed control on the Pacific Coast. The Spanish
prohibited trade with other than Spanish ships. Soon smuggling
was very common and Newport Bay trade with British and
Yankee Clippers grew in size. Today one may dine on the
waters of this sail-dotted lagoon-like bay on the deck of a
replica of a river stern-wheeler . . . M.P.
