Descripción
Acapulco is a pretty large Town, 17 deg. North of the Equator. It is the Sea-Port for the City of Mexico, on the West-side of the Continent; as La Vera Cruz, or St. Joan d’Ulloa in the Bay of Nova Hispania, is on the North-side. This Town is the only place of Trade on all this Coast; for there is little or no Traffick by the Sea on all the N. W.
