Father Peter Coomans was one of the very few that had many positive observations of the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands that was recorded in history. Coomans was amazed at the sight of a fleet of Chamorro people fishing from their proas.

I would love to see someone’s artistic rendition of Father Cooman’s description of what he saw of this fleet of 30 sails and people fishing at night with torches raised at the bow of each proa.

...Happy Thanksgiving...
