notes: 
Still planning to plunder Spanish ships and the port of Guayaquil, the Dutch anchored and watered in a bay behind the Pescadores Islands or Isla de Pescadores on the evening of 14 August 1624. Prince Maurice of Nassau ordered the voyage, commanded by Admiral Jacob L'Hermite (or Jacques L'Hermite), as an expedition against Spain. The fleet circumnavigated the globe.Book is attributed to Jacques l'Hermite, Joannes van Walbeeck, and Adolf Decker. Joannes (or Johan) van Walbeeck (or Walbeek) was the mathematician of the fleet. Gerritsz was Verschoor's secretary, and Decker was captain of marines during the expedition.The same image appears in Iournalen van drie voyagien... published in Amsterdam, 1643.
