notes:
Guanabara Bay was discovered in 1502 by the Portuguese explorer Gaspar de Lemos. No significant European settlement took place until the French invaded in the middle of the 16th century. After the French were expelled in 1563, settlement was encouraged by the Portuguese, but only really increased in the late 17th century when gold was discovered nearby. This section of volume two is called Voiage des Hollandois autour du monde, sous la conduite du Général Olivier de Noort, par le Détroit de Magellan. Between 1598 and 1601 Oliver van Noort led four Dutch ships sponsored by Dutch merchants on a voyage through the Straits of Magellan. Their purpose was to cause trouble to the Spanish with whom they were at war, to create commerce, and if possible, to circumnavigate the globe. Only one of the ships completed the circumnavigation. Van Noort's ships entered Rio on February 9, 1599.
