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: May 4, 1854
SS Pacific
Captain Chas. P. Seabury
From Nicaragua

Passage:
Daily Alta California, May 5, 1854

ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.
TWO WEEKS LATER FROM THE ATLANTIC.
Siege and Blockade of Acapulco.
IMPORTANT NEWS FROM EUROPE.

The steamship, Pacific, of the Nicaragua Line, arrived yesterday afternoon from Nicaragua, with dates from New York to the 5th April, from New Orleans to the 7th, and from England to the 22d of March.

Acapulco was besieged by Santa Ana in person, and blockaded by a Mexican squadron. The Pacific was not allowed to enter, and the J. L. Stephens, on her downward trip, it will be seen, was ordered off, and a shot fired across her bows.

We are indebted to the Purser of the Pacific for favors.

Memoranda.

Steamship Pacific, Chas. P. Seabury, Commander, from San Juan, 20th April, at 5:30 P. M.; 663 passengers, of whom 152 are ladies and 65 children, all in good health.
Arrived off Acapulco 24th, 2:30 P. M., and found the harbor blockaded by the Mexican frigate Santa Ana, seven guns, Commander Pedro Deas Mino( ), and cutter Guerrero, Commander Pedro Navis. After a detention of 3 hours, we passed on, having been refused admittance to the harbor.

We understood that Acapulco was closely besieged by General Santa Ana in person, and a general battle was expected.

Gen. Alvarez had got possession of Acapulco and fortifications.

Passed steamship John L. Stephens, at 5 P. M., 200 miles to southward of Acapulco, bound down. We understood that she attempted to enter Acapulco and a shot was fired across her bow; when she hauled out and proceeded on her course.

The Pacific stopped 18 hours at Cape St. Lucas for water.
Arrived off the Heads at 4:30 P. M.

The Secretary of the Treasury has written a letter to Mr. Gwin, United States Senator from California, in favor of the issue of gold coins of the denominations of $100, $50 and $25 each, by the Branch Mint at San Francisco. He proposes that the new pieces be named the Union, half Union and quarter Union, and that only the half Union be struck for the present.

The great State Stake Race, for $20,000, came off over the Metarie Course at New Orleans on April 1st.
Four Horses were entered, viz: Lexington, for Kentucky; Lecompte, for Mississippi; Highlander, for Alabama; and Arrow, for Louisiana.

The race was won by Lexington in two straight heats. Arrow was distanced in the first heat.

The time of the first heat was 8 m. 8 ’ s., and the second heat 8 m. 4 s. Highlander was distanced in the second heat. There was great disappointment art the result, bets having run very high on Highlander.

In the second heat Lecompte came in second, and Highlander third. The track was very heavy.
A great crowd poured into the Race Course, and thousands of strangers were present from other States.
Thomas Noon Talfourd, the author of "Ion," is dead.

Passengers arriving on the SS Pacific left New York on April 6, 1854 on the SS Northern Light. John Ireland's site includes the departure of the SS Northern Light.
