notes:
The native American or aboriginal people shown here may be Alakaluf or Yamana or Yaghanes. This expedition was probably the first European contact for those peoples. 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.
