notes:
After leaving Puna, the Dutch fleet sailed to Acapulco, Mexico to try to intercept the Spanish ship bound for Manilla. The Dutch reached Acapulco on 28 September 1624.This image shows a detachment of the Dutch fleet lined up twenty leagues west of Acapulco in order to intercept the Manilla-bound ships. Image at bottom may be of one of the Mariana Islands. 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.
