What is it? | A plaque in a park! |
What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: Near this point, sea and land parties of the Portolá–Serra expedition met in 1769. Two ships, the San Antonio and San Carlos, anchored on May 4-5 and the scurvy-weakened survivors of the voyage established a camp, where on May 14 and July 1 they greeted the parties coming overland from Baja California. Together, they began the Spanish occupation of Alta California.
