- Abstract
The first European meetings with Coast Miwok people were late in the sixteenth century on the Marin County coast near Point Reyes. The Europeans' voyages were driven by different objectives and courses. Francis Drake (1579) sought safe harbor to repair and supply the Golden Hind to complete a circumnavigation and return to fame and fortune. Sebastián Rodríguez Cermeño (1595) needed a site to build a small ship to explore the coast. Sebastián Vizcaíno (1603) returned to search for remains of Cermeño's San Agustín. Various archaeologists and agencies have investigated the Point Reyes area. Beginning in 1949, the Drake Navigators Guild has conducted most of the research regarding Drake's landing site and the other sixteenth century explorers.
