notes:
In 1614 the Dutch East India Company and the States-General commissioned Joris van Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas via the Strait of Magellan. After successfully passing through the Strait of Magellan, the ships first stopped at Isla Mocha on April 24, 1615. This work is translated from Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, Journal ofte beschryvinghe van de wonderlicke reyse, Frankfurt a. M., 1619. The appendix is translated from Joris van Spilbergen, Oost en West-Indische spiegel, Leiden, 1619. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 11. Latin.
