notes:
Duke and Duchess islands appear to be in the Galapagos Islands as described in the text. In William Funnell's book this fish was identified as an albacore tuna. William Dampier's third circumnavigation of the world included Edward Cooke and Woodes Rogers who wrote about their voyage. This voyage included the rescue of Alexander Selkirk who had been left on Juan Fernandez Island on Dampier's previous circumnavigation in 1704. William Funnell, historian of the expedition, also wrote a book describing the voyage.
