notes:
Anson's circumnavigation was beset by difficulties. Only one ship out of six finished the voyage. By the time his fleet reached Juan Fernandez Island, the only sanctuary available for the English ship along the Spanish controlled western coast of South America, two thirds of his crew had perished. Piercy Brett, lieutenant on The Centurion, was responsible for the drawings which became part of the narrative of the journey. This image is derived from his sketches and earlier editions of Walter's book. notes Anson's circumnavigation was beset by difficulties. Only one ship out of six finished the voyage.
