September 1539 CE

Ulloa, reaching the Gulf of California six weeks after departing Acapulco, names it the "Sea of Cortés" in honor of his patron.

When one of his ships is lost in a storm Ulloa pauses to repair the other two ships, then resumes his voyage on September 12, eventually reaching the head of the Gulf.
