This extremely important logbook records the historic voyage of Lopez de Haro in the 'San Carlos' which accompanied Captain Estevan Jose Martinez' frigate, the 'Princesa' on its expedition of discovery to the north Californian coast. The manuscript describes the daily events and observations from the San Carlos from the 8th March 1788 when the Expedition left San Blas, to 22nd October, 1788, when they regained that port. In many of his notes, Lopez de Haro mentions that he was obliged to abandon the Spanish chart which he carried and refer to that of Cook, which he found a better guide, more especially in the region of Prince William port and Montague Island, which they reached on the 27th May. Text in Spanish.
