On a sunny Monterey afternoon in 1940, a fishing boat sailed out of Monterey Bay, headed to Baja California in Mexico. The name of the boat was the Western Flyer. It was a 76-foot long boat called a purse seiner because it used a net like a purse to catch sardines.

What color are boats? Where does everyone sleep? Where is the kitchen or galley?

En una soleada tarde de Monterey en 1940, un barco de pesca

zarpó de la Bahía de Monterey, en direccion a Baja. El nombre del

barco era el Western Flyer. Era un barco de 76 pies de largo llamado

cerquero porque usaba un red para cercar y atrapar sardinas.

¿De que color son los barcos? ¿Donde duermen todos? ¿Dónde está

la cocina?

On the Western Flyer were marine biologist Edward F. Ricketts, who lived on Cannery Row in Monterey, and his best friend John Steinbeck, who was a writer born in Salinas. They were headed south to the Gulf of California on an exploration—to spend 6 weeks looking at animals in the intertidal (sea stars, snails, hermit crabs and others).

En el Western Flyer estaban el biólogo marino Edward F. Ricketts,

que vivía en Cannery Row en Monterey, y su mejor amigo John

Steinbeck, quien era un escritor nacido en Salinas. Se dirigian al sur

en una exploración, para pasar 6 semanas observado animales en

la intermareal (estrellas de mar, caracoles, cangrejos ermitaños y

otros).

If you planned an adventure, where would you go and what would you do? Who is your best friend and what is most important about that person? Can you draw the two of you together, doing what you both love best?

¿Si planearas una aventura, a dónde irías y qué harías? ¿Quien es tu

mejor amigo y que es lo más importante de esa persona? ¿Puedes

hacer un dibujo de ustedes dos juntos, haciendo lo que ambos aman

más?

Here is a map of their expedition. Can you draw a path connecting the stops on their trip?

Aquí hay un mapa de su expedición. ¿Puedes dibujar líneas

conectando paradas en su viaje?

On the boat, they talked about many, many things that interested them. The first topic they discussed was sea monsters. We like to think of the deep ocean populated with mysterious things — huge squids and enormous whales. But are there also monsters in the deep?

En el barco, hablaron de muchas, muchas cosas que les interesaron

a ellos. El primer tema que discutieron fueron los monstruos

marinos. Nos gusta pensar en el océano profundo poblado de cosas

misteriosas — grandes calamares y enormes ballenas. ¿Pero tambien

hay monstruos en las profundidades?

Today we think about zombies or space creatures. Could they be real? What do you think they might look like? Draw them here.

Hoy pensamos en zombies o criaturas espaciales. ¿Podrían ser

reales? Dibujarlos aquí.

“Below the Mexican border the water changes color; it becomes a deep ultramarine blue. This is the tuna water — life water. It is complete from plankton to gray porpoises,” Steinbeck wrote. While traveling south in the Pacific Ocean along the Baja California coast, the crew saw all of this life: sea turtles, dolphins, flying fish, and tunas. The crew tried to catch the tunas and the turtles.

Do you think we should catch turtles in the ocean? There are fewer and fewer sea turtles.

“Debajo de la frontera mexicana el agua cambia de color; se

convierte en un azul ultramar profundo. Esta es el agua de atún —

agua de vida. Está completo desde plancton hasta marsopas grises”,

escribe Steinbeck. Mientras viajaba hacia el sur en el Océano

Pacífico a lo largo de la costa de Baja California, la tripulación vio

toda esta vida: tortugas marinas, delfines, peces voladores y atunes.

La tripulación intentó atrapar los atunes y las tortugas.

¿Crees que deberíamos intentar atrapar tortugas en el océano?

Cada vez hay menos tortugas marinas.

In Mexico, the Western Flyer first docked at Cabo San Lucas, which is now a big resort. But in 1940 mostly fishermen lived there. And there was a tuna cannery.

En México, el Western Flyer atracó por primera vez en Cabo San

Lucas, que ahora es un gran resort. Pero en 1940 los pescadores

vivían allí. Y había una fábrica de conservas de atún.

Do you eat tuna out of cans? What other kinds of fish or food do you eat that come out of cans? Canning foods helps them last a long time.

¿Comes pescado de latas? ¿Qué alimentos comes que salen de las

latas? Enlatar los alimentos les ayuda a durar mucho tiempo.

“On the beach at Cabo San Lucas there is a war between the pigs and the vultures,” Steinbeck observed. They fought for the “snacks” thrown away by the tuna cannery — tasty fish guts. Sometimes skinny dogs sneaked in and captured a fish belly.

Can you imagine a scene with pigs and vultures and dogs all trying to eat something on the beach?

En la playa de Cabo San Lucas, hubo una “guerra” entre cerdos

y buitres por todos los “bocadillos” que dejaron las fábricas de

conservas — tripas de pescado. A veces, los perros flacos entraban

y capturaban una barriga de pez.

¿Te imaginas una escena con cerdos, buitres y perros tratando de

comer algo en la playa?

In La Paz, children were curious about what these people were looking for on the beach. They knew where all the animals lived and brought them many specimens!

En La Paz, los niños tenían curiosidad sobre lo que estas personas

estaban recolectando en la playa. ¡Sabían dónde vivían todos los

animales y les trajeron muchos especímenes!

In La Paz, Steinbeck and Ricketts tried to buy a chicken for dinner, and they were told to catch the chicken themselves! They couldn’t do it, and children helped them catch the chicken! “They were gallant, fast chickens.”

Have you ever had to catch a chicken or some other animal?

En La Paz, Steinbeck y Ricketts trataron de comprar un pollo para la

cena, ¡y les dijieron que atrapen el pollo ellos mismos! ¡No pudieron!

Los niños les ayudaron a atrapar el pollo.

¿Alguna vez has tenido que atrapar un pollo o algún otro animal?

At each stop along the Gulf of California coast, the two friends went to shore, collecting little animals in buckets. John’s wife went too! One of their favorite creatures on the beach was the Sally Lightfoot crab, which is bright red. They run across rocks very quickly and are almost impossible to catch!

En cada parada a lo largo de la costa de Baja California, los dos

amigos fueron a la orilla, recogiendo pequeños animales en cubos.

¡La esposa de John también fue! Una de sus criaturas favoritas en la

playa era el cangrejo Sally Lightfoot, que es de color rojo brillante.

¡Corren a través de rocas muy rápido y son imposibles de atrapar!

On Good Friday they went to church in La Paz, and on Easter Sunday they rested and visited mangroves and lagoons on Isla San Jose. There they talked about how all of life is connected together — including the little black flies that bit them and left a stinging burn!

El Viernes Santo fueron a la iglesia en La Paz, y el domingo de

Pascua descansaron y visitaron manglares y lagunas en Isla San José.

Allí hablaron sobre cómo toda la vida está conectada, ¡incluidas

las pequeñas moscas negras que las mordieron y dejaron una

quemadura punzante!

At Puerto Escondido, local ranchers invited John and Ed on a hunt for borrego, the desert big-horn sheep. The men didn’t kill any sheep but instead brought dry sheep poop back to the boat! And they mounted one perfect borrego dropping on a board: “we can say, ‘There was an animal, and for all we know there still is and here is the proof of it. He was very healthy when we last heard of him.”

Draw poop near the big-horned sheep. Would you rather bring home a sheep’s head as a trophy or some dry sheep poop?

En Puerto Escondido los ganaderos locales invitaron a John y Ed

a cazar borrego, la oveja del cuerno grande del desierto. ¡Los

hombres no mataron ninguna oveja, sino que trajeron caca de ovejas

de vuelta al bote! Y montaron una caca perfecto sobre una tabla:

“podemos decir, ‘Había un animal, y por lo que sabemos, todavía

existe y aquí está la prueba de esto. Estaba muy sano la última vez

que supimos de él.”

Dibuja caca cerca del borrego. ¿Prefieres traer a casa una cabeza de

oveja como trofeo o caca de oveja?

The Western Flyer stopped in Loreto, the first successful mission in Baja California. It is still there today, with a nice museum to visit. Have you been to a mission in California? How do you feel about the history of missions in Alta and Baja California?

El Western Flyer se detuvo en Loreto, la primera misión en Baja

California. Todavía está allí hoy, con un museo para visitar. ¿Has

estado en una misión en California? ¿Cómo te sientes acerca de la

historia de las misiones en Alta y Baja California?

Ed called the intertidal animals they found “little beasties.” Here are a few of the animals they found. They explored each stop, finding new animals and meeting local people.

Can you match the names of the little beasties with the pictures? Sea cucumber, brittle star, sea anemone, sea fan, sea urchin.

Ed llamó a los animales intermareales que encontró “pequeñas

bestias.” Aquí hay algunos de los animales que encontraron.

Exploraron cada parada, encontraron nuevos animales y conocieron

a la gente local.

¿Puedes unir los nombres de las pequeñas bestias con las imágenes?

Pepino de mar, heliaster, anémona de mar, abanicos de mar, erizo.

¿Miras pequeñas criaturas en tierra? — hormigas, orugas, arañas,

abejas, polillas. Dibuja tus favoritas.

“The aquarium is a very valuable extension of shore observation,” John Steinbeck wrote. John and Ed and Carol collected animals from the shore and took them on the boat to study carefully, sometimes in an aquarium. Can you draw intertidal animals in this aquarium?

“El acuario es una extensión muy valiosa de la observación de

la costa”, escribió John Steinbeck. John, Ed y Carol recogieron

animales de la orilla y los llevaron al bote para estudiar

cuidadosamente, a veces en un acuario. ¿Puedes dibujar animales

intermareales en este acuario?

Can you believe that this strange creature was one of their favorite animals? “…the sulphury-green and black cucumber is the most ubiquitous shore animal of the Gulf of California”? On Isla Espíritu Santo they said, “As the tide dropped on the shallow beach we saw literally millions of these cucumbers.” John and Ed also found many specimens of heliaster, the lovely sun-star, which was “a close second” in abundance.

¿Puedes creer que esta extraña criatura era uno de sus animales

favoritos? “... ¿el pepino verde azufre y negro es el animal de costa

más ubicuo del Golfo de California”? En Isla Espíritu Santo dijeron,

“A medida que la marea bajaba en la playa vimos literalmente

millones de estos pepinos”. John y Ed también encontraron muchos

especímenes de heliaster, la encantadora estrella del sol, que era

“un segundo cercano” en abundancia.

What are the two most abundant and common land animals where you live? Can you draw those animals?

¿Cuáles son los dos animales terrestres más abundantes y comunes

donde vives? ¿Puedes dibujar esos animales?

There are many islands in the Gulf of California. John and Ed think that “islands have always been fascinating places” and old stories take place on islands — anything might happen there in fairy tales and myths. Do you know of any stories set on islands? Draw a scene from that story on this island.

Hay muchas islas en el Golfo de California. John y Ed piensan que

“las islas siempre han sido lugares fascinantes” y que las viejas

historias tienen lugar en las islas — cualquier cosa podría pasar allí

en cuentos de hadas y mitos. ¿Conoces alguna historia ambientada

en islas? Dibuja una escena de esa historia en esta isla.

In Guaymas, near the end of their trip, they got off the boat and went to restaurants and listened to music. They were very tired after their six weeks of collecting intertidal animals in Baja! There were many tourists in Guaymas, and John Steinbeck didn’t like the town as much as he liked the beaches and the shore. The Western Flyer visited a shrimp-trawling boat offshore that was catching “tons of shrimps, but also tons of fish of many varieties; sierras, pompano of several species; of the sharks, smooth-hounds and hammerheads; eagle rays and butterfly rays; small tuna; catfish; puerco — tons of them. Fish were thrown overboard immediately, and only the shrimps kept.” Do you think it is OK to waste all these fish for a few shrimp? This still happens in the Gulf of California today — just as it did in 1940!

En Guaymas, cerca del final de su viaje, se bajaron del bote y fueron a restaurantes y escucharon música. Estaban muy cansados después de sus seis semanas de recolectar animales intermareales en Baja. Había muchos turistas en Guaymas, y a John Steinbeck no le gustaba la ciudad tanto como le gustaban las playas y la costa. El Western Flyer visitó un barco de arrastre de camarones en alta mar que estaba capturando “toneladas de camarones, pero también peces de muchas clases: sierras, pámpano de varias especies; de los tiburones, sabuesos y tiburones martillo; rayas águila y rayas mariposa; pequeños atúnes; puerco — toneladas de ellos. Los peces fueron arrojados por la borda inmediatamente y solo se quedaron los camarones”. ¿Crees que está bien desperdiciar todos estos peces por unos pocos camarones? Esto todavía sucede en el Golfo de California hoy, ¡tal como sucedió en 1940!

The Western Flyer sailed back to Monterey in April, 1940. Now this boat is being restored in Port Townsend, Washington and will sail in 2021 into Monterey Bay again, where we will be working with school groups — maybe yours!

Until then, when you can visit the boat, you can work on this coloring book and have your own adventure. Bring it along, all colored in, when you visit the ship!

El Western Flyer navegó de regreso a Monterey en abril de

1940. Ahora este barco se está restaurando en Port Townsend,

Washington, y navegará en 2021 hacia Monterey Bay nuevamente,

donde trabajaremos con grupos escolares, ¡tal vez el suyo!

Hasta entonces, cuando pueda visitar el barco, puede trabajar en

este libro para colorear y tener su propia aventura. ¡Tráelo, todo

coloreado, cuando visites el barco!
