Gilman, Charles Jervis, 1824-1901
Variant namesOn March 20, 1850, Mr. Gilman set out from San Francisco in the schooner "Laura Virginia" for Trinidad Bay, into which the Trinity River was said to empty. After a six day journey they realized that the Trinity River did not empty into it, and so they continued to explore the coast up to the mouth of the Columbia River. On the 23rd of April they entered a large bay twenty-five miles south of Trinidad Bay and christened it "Humboldt Harbor."
