More on Samaná BayMás sobre Bahía de Samaná

SummaryResumen

In this portion of the commissioners' report, the ground acquired on the Bay of Samana, near the village of Santa Barbara, is described as only part of the space a great commercial city would need, in a country said to be exceedingly fertile and healthy. The report says earlier accounts of coal nearby are not confirmed by the expedition's geologists, calls the bay the natural outlet of the rich La Vega plain, and notes that the Yuna river can be navigated by light-draught vessels and that a railroad along its valley would face no heavy grades or large rivers.

En esta parte del informe de los comisionados, el terreno adquirido en la bahía de Samaná, cerca del pueblo de Santa Bárbara, se describe como solo una parte del espacio que necesitaría una gran ciudad comercial, en un país que se dice sumamente fértil y saludable. El informe señala que los relatos anteriores sobre carbón en las cercanías no son confirmados por los geólogos de la expedición, llama a la bahía la salida natural de la rica vega de La Vega, y apunta que el río Yuna puede ser navegado por embarcaciones de poco calado y que un ferrocarril a lo largo de su valle no encontraría pendientes fuertes ni ríos grandes.
