Captain Esteban José Martínez set sail from San Blas, Nayarit, aboard the frigate Santiago, and carried supplies for the settlements at San Diego, Monterey, and San Francisco. He landed at San Francisco on 26 June 1779. Martínez later (1788-1789) commanded the Spanish expedition along the coast of Northern California to investigate Russian activities and their potential threat to Spanish holdings.
