Text describes a violent storm in Hispaniola which capsized Christopher Columbus's fleet. The image is derived from Theodor de Bry, America, Pt. 4, plate 11. This image follows the special title page for Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas, Twee opmerklyke scheeps-togten afgevaardigd naar in West-Indien in 't jaar 1502, Leiden, 1706. This collection of voyages consists of 127 parts, each having a special title page, separate pagination, and register. The voyages covering the period from 1246 to 1696 are arranged chronologically.
