Historical notes:
|
Sharpe was captain of the Trinity which siezed the Spanish ship, Rosario, off the coast of Ecuador in 1681. Among the booty seized was a derrotero, or a volume of manuscript charts of the coast with detailed sailing directions, captured as it was about to be thrown overboard. A translation of Alexander Olivier Exquemelin's 'De Americaanse zeerovers', first published in 1678.
