The Maritime Heritage Project is committed to providing free information to everyone; the focus is world shipping during the 1800s, with a concentration on San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush years.

America was created by everyone and belongs to everyone; early settlers came over land bridges in the Bering Straits from Russia and Japan, up and down coastlines, across the Continent on foot and with horses, by early sailors from France, England, Russia, Spain, and, perhaps, by Polynesian people. Kent Madin of Boojum Institute kayaked solo from San Diego to Hawaii in the 1980s, so it is completely feasible.

ARRIVAL OF THE GOLDEN GATE
Interesting Political and Miscellaneous News.
The Golden Gate was telegraphed at ten minutes after 4, and by twenty minutes past 4 we had our first despatches, by Adams & Co.

The Golden Gate brings 800 passengers and a large mail, with dates to the 5th of May.
Captain Patterson will please accept our thanks for attentions, also the Purser of the Golden Gate.
The Golden Gate has made the passage in 11 days and 11 hours.
The Purser has furnished the following journal of the Golden Gate's passage:
The U.S. Mail steamship Golden Gate, C.P. Patterson, U.S.S., commander, left Panama on the 18th inst, at 11 P.M. The Golden Gate brings a very large mail and 800 passengers, among which are 120 ladies and 50 children. It was very (missing word) on the Isthmus when the Golden Gate left, and the crossing over good. The P.M. Steamship Company's steamer Isthmus was at Panama. She arrived there on the evening of the 11th. The steamer Pacific, from San Juan, arrived at Panama on the 18th inst. She went immediately to Tobago to go on the beach for repairs. The steamer from the South Pacific had not arrived when the Golden Gate left. The Golden Gate made the passage from San Francisco to Panama in 11 days and 11 hours. May 24th arrived at Acapulco at 3 A.M., and left at 1 P.M. running time from Panama 5 days and 5 hours. Off Acapulco, spoke P.M. Steamship Company's steamer John L. Stephens, hence for Panama, bound in. May 30th arrived at San Diego and left the same day; detained off the harbor 12 hours by fog. The steamer Republic, hence for Panama, left San Diego on the 27th.
Disasters.

The ship John Holland, from New York to San Francisco, arrived at Acapulco, on the 9th inst in distress, leaking about 3000 strokes per hour. Too much credit cannot be awarded Capt. Baxter for his energy and perseverance in getting his ship into port, under the circumstances. The survey of the ship John Holland, have ordered her to discharge partially in order to discover her leak. She will probably have her upper works caulked and proceed to this port.
