He assumed command of Alvarado's exploration of the west coast of North America on Alvarado's death, discovering San Diego Bay Sept. 28, 1542, then sailed on to Northwest Cape beyond San Francisco Bay (which he did not find).

How many men did Juan rodriguez cabrillo set sail with?

Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo led the first European expedition to explore what is now the west coast of the United States. Cabrillo departed from the port of Navidad, Mexico, on June 27, 1542. Three months later he arrived at "a very good enclosed port." That port is known today as San Diego bay. Historians believe he anchored his flagship, the San Salvador, on Point Loma's east shore near Cabrillo National Monument. Cabrillo later died during the expedition, but his crew pushed on, possibly as far north as Oregon, before thrashing winter storms forced them to back to Mexico.
