This book about Captain James H. Blethen, Master Mariner, is the start of a new series of small books from The Maritime Heritage Project focusing on notable sea captains sailing in and out of San Francisco during the 1800s. The MHP is a 15-year-old, internationally well-regarded research site. It is one of the few sites that offers free ship passenger lists of immigrants sailing into San Francisco during the mid-to-late 1800s. As new information is located for each Captain, publications will be updated and offered free to previous purchasers. If you wish to be notified, please send an eMail to DALevy@MaritimeHeritage.org with "Keep Me Updated" in the Subject line. You will be added to the mailing list (and you will NOT be inundated with eMails).
