Visit to Los Angeles
A picture of the Fleet entering Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, the officers and men were feted to such entertainments as a giant Spanish barbecue, thrilled to a breathtaking balloon ascension by a group of daring aeronauts, and cheered a number of prize fights between well-known local pugilists.
This is an official invitation to the ball planned for the visit to Los Angeles. The ball was planned in honour of Admiral Evans and included his wife as part of the planning committee.
Below is the program.
The next instalment will be the Separation of the Fleet.
