Reading about the Frigate “San Carlos” that embarked in the port of San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico in 11/26/1775. Then traveled up north to San Francisco. Commanded by Juan De Ayala. I am just learning that there is a port in San Blas, Nayarit, on the Pacific side of Mexico. I looked it up and the old structures are still there.
