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. Anson's orders were to raid Spanish possessions along the South American coast and disrupt their trade. He succeeded in sacking Paita in November 1741.
