Voyage will retrace Steinbeck-Ricketts trip to Sea of Cortez
3, 2003 Voyage will retrace Steinbeck-Ricketts trip to Sea of Cortez BY MARK SHWARTZ March 11 will mark the 64th anniversary of one of the most celebrated expeditions in the history of American letters.
On that day in 1940, a boat carrying novelist John Steinbeck; his wife, Carol; and marine biologist Ed 'Doc' Ricketts left the chilly waters of Monterey, Calif., and headed south to explore the relatively isolated coast of Mexico's Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.
The trip, which lasted six weeks and covered 4, 000 miles, was part scientific fieldwork and part adventure -- an unforgettable journey that Steinbeck and Ricketts documented in their 1941 book, Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research .
The sun sets on another day of squid tagging for Stanford scientists recently working in the Sea of Cortez.
An upcoming expedition will follow the course traveled by author John Steinbeck and marine biologist Ed Ricketts along Mexico’s Gulf of California.
The 1940 expedition resulted in the book Sea of Cortez: A Leisurely Journal of Travel and Research .
Cicero Now, more than six decades later, a team of scientists and scholars is planning to retrace that legendary voyage.
