Come along for some tales from an Island off the coast of Southern California! You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   Santa Catalina Island, nicknamed "Catalina" or "Cat Island", is a charming island getaway located 22 miles off the coast of Southern California. History The island has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The first inhabitants were the Tongva people who lived on the island for over 8,000 years. In 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, became the first European to set foot on the island. He named it Santa Catalina after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of sailors. The island remained sparsely populated until the 19th century when it was used as a hunting ground by wealthy mainlanders. In the 1860s, William Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum magnate, purchased a controlling interest in the island and began its development as a resort destination. He is credited with the island's iconic Catalina Casino, which was originally a ballroom dance hall, and the town of Avalon. Locations The island is 21 miles long and 4.2 miles wide, with an area of 76 square miles. Avalon, the main town and port, is located on the eastern end of the island. It's a pedestrian-friendly town with colorful buildings, shops, restaurants, and casinos. Two other settlements are Two Harbors, a smaller village on the island's west side, and the Isthmus, a seasonal community located on the narrow strip of land connecting the island's two halves. Tourist Attractions Catalina is a popular tourist destination known for its Mediterranean climate, stunning scenery, and outdoor activities. Here are some of the top things to do: Explore Avalon: Walk along the Avalon Harbor, browse the shops on Catalina Avenue, or take a glass-bottom boat tour to see the underwater world. Visit the Catalina Casino: This iconic landmark is now a centerpiece for entertainment, dining, and shopping. Hike in the Interior: The island has miles of hiking trails that offer stunning views of the ocean, mountains, and valleys. One popular hike is the Trans-Catalina Trail, a 38.5-mile route that traverses the entire island. Go Ziplining: Experience the thrill of ziplining through the island's canyons and forests. Relax on the Beach: Catalina has many beautiful beaches, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Go Kayaking: Explore the island's coastline by kayak and discover hidden coves and sea caves. Take a Golf Cart Tour: Rent a golf cart and explore the island at your own pace. This is a great way to see the sights and get off the beaten path. Go Scuba Diving or Snorkeling: The waters around Catalina Island are home to a variety of marine life, making it a great place for scuba diving and snorkeling. UFO Sightings Catalina Island is known as a UFO hotspot. There have been many reported sightings of unidentified flying objects over the island for many years. Some people believe that the island's location and magnetic field make it a prime spot for UFO activity. Whether you believe in UFOs or not, the sightings add to the island's mystique and allure.

Point Cabrillo is in Northern California, about midway between San Francisco and the border with Oregon. The point is named for Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, an explorer who sailed the California coast on behalf of Spain in 1542 and ‘43. It took a series of shipwrecks in the vicinity and pleas from mill owners and mariners before construction of a lighthouse began in the summer of 1908. An octagonal lighthouse tower was combined with a fog signal building in an attractive building that has been likened to a small church, built of local redwood and Douglas fir. Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, California. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. The last Coast Guard keepers left in 1972 when the navigational light in the lighthouse was replaced by an aerobeacon that was mounted on the roof of the fog signal building. In 1992, the property was bought by the California State Coastal Conservancy. Restoration followed, and the Fresnel lens in the lighthouse was reactivated. After restoration, the duty of managing the station was handed over to the nonprofit Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association. Point Cabrillo's third-order Fresnel lens was created by Chance Brothers of England. It's one of only three British-built lenses still in use in the United States. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont Jen Lewis Two of the former keepers' houses and two smaller buildings are open for overnight stays. A museum and gift shop are open daily, and there's an aquarium and marine science exhibit in another light station building. Jen Lewis began volunteering at Point Cabrillo Light Station when she moved to Mendocino County in 2016, and she has been the Outreach Manager for the nonprofit Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association since 2018. This episode is co-hosted by Jeff Gales, executive director of the U.S. Lighthouse Society. Listen to the podcast with this player:

Madison Raash is a recent graduate of Cabrillo College and a proponent of changing the name of the school. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was a conquistador whose mark on California was indelible and some would like to change that.

In this episode we'll read from the wiki pages of the first European explorers, and dare I say... PIRATES?!...of California That's right, ye ol scalliwags. We are walking the plank right into some of the first written accounts of California. But more prescient in this episode compared to those perhaps in the future is the strong ties between California History and World History. The three explorers we cover today, have literally sailed the world, so we'll get a good background on who they were, where they came from, and how they influenced cultures in many different regions and realms. Without further ado, here are the stories of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, el Draco himself—Sir Francis Drake, and Sebastian Vizcaino. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Generously studded with a wealth of cultural and leisure attractions, as you’d expect from any self-respecting big city, San Diego’s crown of temptations is overlaid with that infectious SoCal spirit of carefree informality. It’s been a few years since I was last in town and I was awestruck by how the Waterfront district is in a state of grand-scale transformation. Beautiful new pedestrian-centric and bike-friendly promenades wrap their way around the waterfront, bracketed by meticulously maintained gardens, while a forest of ultra-contemporary glass buildings backdrop proceedings. The USS Midway continues to hold high court, swooned over for its rich military history and the 29 restored aircraft parked up on its deck. After savouring the world’s most visited ship museum, I tootled along the bustling waterfront to the equally enthralling Maritime Museum. From sailing ships to submarines, this is a nautical headrush that underscores San Diego’s proud legacy as a commercial seaport. The collection’s towering jewel is the Star of India, which was built in 1863 and made 21 trips around the world in the late 1800s – including various voyages to New Zealand, carrying immigrants from England. Saved from the scrap yard and painstakingly restored, the windjammer is the oldest active iron sailing ship in the world. The recently constructed San Salvador is a detailed historic replica of the original ship first sailed into San Diego Bay by explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo back in 1542. As an incurable plane-spotter, I was transfixed by the roll call of aircraft touching down and taking off from San Diego Airport. This waterfront vantage point is a lip-smacker for av-fans. The airport is just ten minutes from downtown – true to San Diego’s oh-so-effortless urban spirit.  Feeling peckish? You can’t beat a pulled pork sandwich from Carnitas’ Snack Shack. From the waterfront, I struck out down Broadway into the heart of the city, passing some of the old theatre dames like the Spreckels Theatre and the Balboa Theatre. They’re housed in the city’s historic district, better known as the Gaslamp Quarter, a 16-block blockbuster of charming architecture, independent shopping and jam-packed with exciting eateries and bars. Feeling suitably envious that I had so little time to graze from its greatness, here’s a few fleeting tips. Stuff yourself stupid on Spanish tapas at Café Sevilla, enjoy Greek fusion at Meze, Volcano Rabbit is the place to head for divine street tacos and wash it all down at Tivoli, the oldest bar in town. As a history-hound, I also staked out San Diego’s oldest wooden house, which is home to the Gaslamp’s Historical Foundation. This prefab saltbox-style house was built in Maine in 1850 and shipped around Cape Horn before being assembled in town. The gilded lungs of the city were soon calling. Balboa Park is not just a natural wonderland on the edge of the city centre, but the USA’s largest urban cultural park, spanning 1200 acres, beckons as an architectural and cultural masterpiece as well. Established in 1868, it’s the grandeur of the architectural confections and follies that first had me drawing deep breaths. Had I been spirited away to Seville? A riot of Spanish Renaissance Colonial-style architecture is the prevailing theme. The show-stoppers include the ornately domed California Tower with its trademark blue and yellow tiles, the 1500-foot Cabrillo Bridge and the soothing redwood-lath Botanical Building nestled around a sprawling lily pond. One of the largest wood lath structures in the world, it’s remarkable to encounter a vast open-air conservatory, thronging with thousands of exotic plants, built with no glass. Then there’s Alcazar Garden, for the ultimate Seville-like experience. You may feel like royalty here as you rest on the benches by the artfully tiled fountains, feasting your eyes on the luscious landscaping.  Inspired by the gardens surrounding the Alcazar Castle, its seasonally shifting colour pal...

Welcome to the very first episode of Eureka! (I'm so excited! Brace yourselves for WAY too many exclamation points!) I wanted to start us off with a topic that was perfectly, inarguably, quintessentially "California"... and there's nothing more "California" than our iconic state bear flag! When I started researching this topic, I honestly figured it would be a 5-minute introductory episode to get me warmed up in the podcasting game. Who knew that the history of the bear flag involved a kidnapping-turned-wine-tasting, a bet with William Randolph Hearst, and a relative of President Lincoln? As promised, I have a few visuals to go along with the episode! Behold, friends... {cue dream sequence}... First off, the Todd flag, designed by William L. Todd, cousin of future first lady Mary Todd Lincoln- widely considered to be the very first version of our California state bear flag! Tell me I'm not crazy. Does W. Todd's "grizzly bear" not bear striking resemblance (sorry, pun intended) to a Rodent of Unusual Size from The Princess Bride movie? My husband thinks it looks like a capybara. I can't argue with that. Since we're having fun being catty about flags (something I never thought I'd write), how about The Pico Flag? Apologies for the picture quality, but OMG. I friggin' love that Pico flag. I also really love Monarch the grizzly bear, although I wish he could've lived out the rest of his majestic bear life in the wild. Oh, Monarch, you magnificent beast. RIP, Big Fella. And a bonus gift! Allen Kelley's book "Bears I Have Met," where he describes his relationship with Monarch. (The title alone, you guys.) THIS. I want our Christmas card this year to have an "Allen Kelly 'Bearhunter'" motif. And finally, now that you're all hopped up on California state pride, I've got a whole bunch of my most favorite bear flag themed goodies pinned on our Pinterest page (@eurekacahistory). Hoodies and coasters and car decals, oh my! Here are a few to whet your proverbial appetite. (I don't get any kickbacks from these links... I just love the items!) Like this wall art made out of an old wine barrel, from eWoodArtCarvings on etsy. Or this perfectly adorable grocery tote, from LesFugitives on etsy. The coolest hand-painted welcome mat, from NickelDesignsShop on etsy. And Baby Leggings! For a baby shower gift that doesn't suck, from BabalusByLucy on etsy. That's it, gang. Join me next time for another chapter of California history (and ooooh, it's a GOOD one! I'm bursting at the seams to tell!). Keep learning, and have a sunshiney day! Transcript of Episode 1: California State Bear Flag Hello, hello, gang, and thank you so much for joining me on this inaugural Episode #1: California State Bear Flag. Obviously, we’re starting off the Eureka podcast with a little vexillology… aka the study of flags. More than any other state flag, California’s bear flag is truly a symbol of the state itself.  Full disclosure here: I lived in New York for several years, and there’s absolutely no way that I could point the New York state flag out of a line-up. California’s state flag is ubiquitous. Everybody knows it. It’s come to represent the California lifestyle as a sort of pop culture icon. In shops all over the country, I’ve seen t-shirts, car decals, welcome mats, even cufflinks featuring the artwork of our state flag. Californians love their flag! I figured something this emblematic merited its own episode in our California history podcast. So- as is always the case with history- let’s start at the beginning. The very beginning. As in 1542, when the flag of the Spanish Empire was planted in California soil (San Diego to be exact) by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who’d been hoping to discover the mythical Strait of Anian- a water route across North America. Instead, he found California, and our future state had its very first flag.

Starting with a little background history concerning the exploits on pacific side of Mexico to the bottom part of California, this episode begins the voyage of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and his two ships, the San Salvador and the Victoria, sailing off from the Puerto de Navidad on June 27, 1542.

A vital link to San Diego’s maritime history is taking shape at the Port of San Diego’s Spanish Landing Park. Beginning Saturday, July 9, 2011, the public can watch as the Maritime Museum of San Diego builds a replica of the 16th century Spanish galleon, the San Salvador. The San Salvador was the flagship Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo sailed in when he entered the San Diego harbor, in 1542. Full story: http://j.mp/​oxeo4z (portofsandiego.org)
