Argonauts in Nicaragua Reach Virgin Bay by Dam Collapse
Dudley Jones recalls the 1870s journey of 75 California gold seekers across Nicaragua from San Juan del Sur to Virgin Bay and down to Greytown. They missed Vanderbilt steamers, endured scarce food at Virgin Bay, and rode a 50 foot schooner to Castillo, witnessing a Vanderbilt steamer topple over a dam and many drownings. Commodore Vanderbilt and Aspinwall appear in the storied transit.
