Diálogos An Understanding Of The Pacific Coast Of Central America
Year: 2018 Language: English Author: Jorge León Sáenz Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 44 Description: Early 19th Century knowledge of nautical affairs was scant, regarding the Pacific coast of Central America. Prior to 1800, the main source of information on that coast was Spanish “derroteros” or sailing directions. Between 1808-1826, British commercial and maritime interests replaced those of Spain in the region. British ships cruising the coast, needed better maritime charts, and thus surveying became an important task for the Royal Navy. From the mid 1830’s, British Admiralty charts became the main source of navigational information. Then the French Navy and later the United States Navy became involved in the survey of Pacific coast ports and harbors.
