Abstract:

Fragments, probably copies, of logbooks recording two voyages along the California coast in conjunction with the frigate Favortia.

The second is perhaps also from the Princesa, which sailed from San Blas under Esteban José Martínez, on March 6, 1782, bound for Santa Barbara and other California settlements.
