- 2 - Historical Society, I have been making a very close Inveatdgatdon to find out how our Newfoundland sailors gav e those nallles to that distant Island, a s I feel r certain ~ three ~ did not coee together in the Pacific Ocea n by a c ci de nt. I f ind that this Island of Catalina 'WaS first discove r ed by the Spaniards in 1534, and they named it San Sakvador-, I n the next century it i s named on the charts Catalina , and although aoa e map s hav e it marked a s Santa Clltalina , i t has &1'.:&1 8 been known l oca lly 8s--Catalina. Ther e is a t r&ditlon that it was the r esort of buccan eers, or a s the Spani ards called t h0 :38 hardy ol d South of Eng l and ead I oz -e-pdz-at.e a , I hav e be en l ooking up the recor ds of the earliest Eng l ish circumnanl za t i ons, Sir Francis Drak e , W1111am Dampier, Lord Anson a nd others, a nd find that this 'Wa s the very locality on the coast of California vhere these famous Sailors wylaid the Spanish galleons on th",i r 'Way fro.~ Ma."1ila a nd the Spice Islands of t he Pacific vith their va luab l e cargoes of' silver and silks, e t.c , , etc , , very of'ten vit h millions of dollars. These galleons wer e etev sailers, vith large c r ews , and they made ror San Ped ro. 'Which vas their nearest port. a s af'ter a l ong voyage across the Pacific Oce an they 'Wer e alway s badly in need of f r esh vater and mdtab l e veget a bl e f ood s to assist i n prev enting or conquer i ng t he r-ava ge s of scurvy 'Which 'Was such a~ t rouble to those old navfgat.ot-e , Si r Fr ancis Drake a nn William Dampi e r , a s well a s ot he r f'a mou s buccan e ers, kn ev to a month when those galleons vere expe cted a t San Ped ro, and t her e f ore they quietly wai ted a t the LaLend of Catalina , off the harbor , f or the arriva l of the treasure ships, when they pounced on them . Resistance vas us e l ess when men of this stamp were in char-ge-s-een 'Who bad no hesitation in attlil cking the City of Cadiz and "Singeing the beard of the King of Spain himse lf'll , a s our histor i es t ell us . Tho s e old English sailors had learne d their navigation a nd experience on
- 3 - their yearly visit:J to Newfoundland in se arch of the sportive codfish, and t her e f or e there Is no tping remar kabl e that t hey shoul d r echri sten these places in the Pa cific by t he familiar Nevfoun d.Iand names . As proof of t his I need only state that Dampi er in his bi ography t ells us t hat he spent a :rear fi 8hin~ in Newfoundl an d , but ovdng to his p.,ing "pfncbed" by the c ol d cliAat e he s ought his fortune in more southern lati tude s . Traditions i n Carbonear are ha nde d dO\m to this very day , pointing out the l ocalit y vhere Dampi er ha d his f ishing stage, vhich va s j u s t vbe r-e the McClI.r thy Hot e l stood previous to the r~ ce n t tire . This a gain i s not remar kable, for Dampier was a ce l ebr ated /man in hi s day , and like Homer every place wi sh ed to shov the i r c I c se c onne ction \li th him. n conclusion , our name Catalina va s certainl y de r ived from t he old Spanish safLor -s vho frequent e d our coast over f our hund r ed ye ars ago. Th e na me !Y!.!.Q!l is pure English , or rather in Welsh myt hology, f rOlll vhfch it va s der-Lved-c-and e ee ne a Heav en ly Kingdom , an d va s afterwards "an earthly paradise " i n the We st ern Seas . The r e vere Uni versity men and Scho l ars among t he old English adventurers an d r ove r s, a nd this vas no doubt t ho r-ea son t hat t his classical name va s first gi ven t o t he princ i pal pen insula in the I sland of Ne wf ound la nd an d afterwards to ~ll~ .~rbor i~n the_j.J~t~nt ~ .! sl~ !!
