Callao
cityThe port for which the schooner Emma of Auckland sailed on February 20th with a complement of eleven men.
The port is a heading, never a landfall: it stands in the record as the destination on the Emma's papers and nothing more. No one in the account reaches it, and nothing of the place itself — its harbour, its people, its trade — is set down.
