Description: 1891 5x8 glass plate photo Negative ITATA Chile Ship San Diego Cannon Spaulding Please see my other listings for more glass plate negatives. Any questions please ask BEFORE you bid. Thank you!Before the rendezvous with the Robert and Minnie could take place, Itata was detained on May 6, 1891 at San Diego harbor on the orders of John W. Foster. Marshal George Gard took charge of the ship, but Gard allowed her to remain under steam and in mid-stream, ready to sail, during her detention.[2] The next day Gard left the detention of Itata in the hands of his sole deputy and was out in the harbor searching for the Robert and Minnie, which had been reported sighted the previous day in nearby Mexican waters. At 5:30 pm on May 7 Itata raised anchor and illegally left San Diego, and carrying the deputy marshal, who was put ashore by the crew the same evening at Ballast Point.[1][3] The shipment of 5000 rifles was transhipped from the schooner off one of the southern Californian islands to Itata, which then sailed for Chile.[1] US national newspapers subsequently reported a claim by Marshal Gard that the ship was loaded with Chilean soldiers.
