- In June of1579, Sir Francis Drake constructed
a short lived, crude fortification at Drake's Bay in the neighborhood
of Point Reyes, north of San Francisco. He had been compelled
to make the landing in order to make ship repairs, presenting
him with the opportunity to lay claim to the land, which he named
Nova Albion (New England).
