Historical notes:
|
The eastern waterway referred to as "Destroit de Browers" refers to Hendrick Brouwers' 1643 discovery that Staten Island, like Tierra del Guego, was an island; the cartographer is at special pains to record the shape of the latter and all the associated islands discovered by Van Noort, Schouten and Le Maire, and the Nodal brothers.
