Zaca expeditions illustrations, 1936 - 1938
Scope and Contents
The diesel schooner Zaca, owned by Templeton Crocker, was placed at the DTR’s disposal for two expeditions. Between March and May 1936, the DTR was engaged in the Templeton Crocker Expedition; the trip consisted of observations, deep sea trawling, and dredging operations on the Pacific Coast of Lower California from San Diego to Clarion Island and Cabo San Lucas, and in the Gulf of California. The second trip, the Eastern Pacific Zaca Expedition between November 1937 and April 1938, employed identical oceanographic techniques for exploring the faunal area from Guadalupe, San Benito, and Cedros Island on the west coast of Lower California south through the western bays of Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. This subseries includes illustrations known to be by Toshio Asaeda and George Swanson.
