SummaryResumen
The report sets out Admiral Porter's opinion of Samana Bay, calling its position beside the Mona Passage of vast importance to the United States, since the power holding it could command the commerce of any nation it was at war with. Porter is quoted praising the bay as the best harbor in the West Indies, with timber, iron, coal and copper for shipbuilding, and the article adds similar English and French opinions, including Sir R. Schomburgk's description of Samana as one of the principal keys to the Isthmus of Central America and the Gulf of Mexico.

situated close to the highway of all vessels coming
from Europe (the Mona passage) and oi most of
the vessels from the United states uouud to the
West Indies, the Power that ownod it could com

were at war. It cantaius within itseir ail the requi
sites for shipbuilding?the rtnest timber, iron, coal
and copper?and. uo doubt, a good geological sur

wnole West Indies, and is capable, I am toid, of con
taluing the combined ileeis of Europe and rendering
