"Treasures of the Manila Galleons," tells the history of the Spanish/Manila galleon commercial trade, also known as the "China trade," that existed for 250 years (1565-1812). The exhibit explores the grueling roundtrip voyage from Acapulco to Manila. On display from Saturday, February 5, 2005 through Labor Day at the Maritime Museum of Monterey, located at 5 Custom House Plaza near Fishermen‚s Wharf (831-372-2608). The Maritime Museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM except it is closed Wednesdays until Memorial Day; open daily after Memorial Day. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors, students, military, and youth between 12 to 18 years old, and free for children ages 12 or under. "Treasures of the Manila Galleons" highlights the story of the galleon San Felipe, shipwrecked off of Baja California in 1575. This is the earliest Manila Galleon shipwreck known. The exhibit features hundreds of fascinating artifacts recently salvaged from the wreck, including: beautiful blue-on-white Ming Dystasty porcelains, Spanish and English silver coins, a mysterious, newly discovered stoneware jar from the Rhine, shipworm-riddled wax blocks for candle making and models of British galleon hunting ships. In addition, the exhibit includes a 16-foot board game where visitors become the pilot of their own galleon that they must sail to Manila and back. There is also a children‚s galleon in the museum lobby, and children can climb aboard and become captain of the ship. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SIERRA GORDA TOUR The Docents of Mission San Juan Capistrano invite you to join them on the following tour of Father Serra's Missions in Mexico: Sierra Gorda Missions Tour 6 Days - $1299 plus applicable taxes October 5, 2005 - October 10, 2005 The cost includes round trip air from San Diego, five nights hotel lodging (with transfers to/from hotels), a bus and tour guide.

This project will extend from June 27-August 5. We will be excavating within the Second Defense Wall along the north perimeter of the Presidio, prior to the reconstruction of the northwest corner of the quadrangle for State Parks and the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. David and I will be staying in the Scholar's Residence on site, while the students may camp for free at El Capitan State Beach, a short commute away.

Please check it out—it will make finding of information within the site much easier. For best results, place quotation marks around your search term, e.g. “Rancho Los Cerritos” will get results more specific to this particular place than if you did not include the quotation marks. The time has come to update the Archaeological, Conservation, and Preservation Projects page! So, good folks of CMSA, if you have a project that you would like to report on the website, please contact the us at cmsa_1@lightspeed.net. |
