Please support The Maritime Heritage Project.

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

The information on the site is an accumulation of 11-years of research on ships, captains, passengers, ports and goods moving around the world during one of the largest international migrations in history.

Our lists of passengers arriving in San Francisco seem to be more comprehensive than those of many paid-for services. Thousands of individuals from around the world have found links to family in these pages. Educators and historians frequently comment on the value of the information.

To date, with the exception of a few wonderful donors of funds and information, we have covered all expenses.

Now we are formally asking for your donations in helping to cover our modest budget and to expand the site to include additional detail on world ports. We wish to shed additional light on the migratory paths during the 1800s.

Reading through these pages brings to life that 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.

Please help support our work.

Thank you.

Arrive San Francisco: August 5, 1853
SS Oregon
Captain Leroy
From Panama

Passage:
Daily Alta California, August 6, 1853

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP OREGON.
From the Atlantic States and Europe.
NINE DAYS LATER FROM NEW ORLEANS
FOREIGN NEWS ONLY THIRTY-SIX DAYS OLD.

The P.M.S. Oregon, Captain Leroy, arrived yesterday evening, sixteen days from Panama, with two hundred and fifty passengers, and the mails from the Atlantic.

The Oregon brings late dates as follows: From Liverpool, June 29; from New York, July 10; from New Orleans, July 14; from Mexico City and Panama, July 20. The roads upon the Isthmus, the Purser states, were in good condition, and the state of the health excellent for this period of the year.

The following memoranda is from the Purser of the Oregon:
P.M. steamer Oregon, A.V.H. Leroy, Esq., Commander, sailed from Panama Bay July 20th, at half-past 7 P.M., with 250 passengers, mails. etc. Touched at Acapulco on the 27th and sailed same day. There was no vessel of any description in port when the Oregon left Acapulco � a rare occurrence. The steamship John L. Stephens touched at Acapulco, 6 days and 18 hours from San Francisco, having made way ports. She sailed thence same day. Her time has seldom been equalled. All well on board. Touched at San Diego and Monterey; saw the Northerner coming out of the former port. The Oregon has made a fine run of 15 days. Passengers all healthy, no deaths or sickness occurring since leaving New York and New Orleans. On Friday, 22d, John Dawson, seaman, from Quebec, aged 50 years, was lost overboard. Made the run from San Diego in forty-six hours.
Adams & Co. were first to furnish us with the Atlantic papers, immediately followed by Wells, Fargo & Co. and Berford & Co.
The news is no later, except from New Orleans, our dates via Mexico reaching to the 14th ult. An epitome of the intelligence will be found below. No mail bag for California having been sent from New Orleans by the Texas steamship which left New Orleans on the 14th at 8 A.M., the agent of the Mexican Ocean Mail and Inland Co., at Vera Cruz, made up a package of latest newspaper dates, which furnishes us the news referred to. We are indebted to Mr. Davis, the Purser of the Oregon for the delivery of our files.

Cargo: Not noted. Delivered to Bolton, Bayron & Co.; Gaime, Guillemot & Co; White & Wilson; Levy & Co.; C.C. Adkins; Pick & Co.; McKinlay, Garrloch & Co.; Perry & Cutter; and others.
