Description: Langdon's book, The Lost Caravel, was published in June 1975 by Pacific Publications.

The San Lesmes was one of the ships of the expedition of Garcia Jofre de Loaia. The Lost Caravel Re-explored gathers his evidence in support of the presence of European castaways in the pre-Cook Pacific. His research and correspondence relating to these publications is arranged alaphbetically by correspondent Quantity: 1 microfilm reel(s).
