Extermination of California sea otter linked to 19th century hunting
Dr Cecil Corwin discusses the decline of the sea otter along the California coast from San Diego to Oregon. He notes their unique status, non fish diet, shellfish reliance, and high fur values, detailing Russian and Chinese demand, annual pup production, and the failed efforts by Spanish authorities and missionaries to curb hunting amid Russian settlement and later Bancroft's illegal ventures.

The attackers were pacified by the ship’s mate, who then returned to Alaska with Mrs Bancroft and the body for burial. She died weeks later after refusing proposed surgery.
