notes:
Between 1598 and 1601, Olivier van Noort led four Dutch ships sponsored by Dutch merchants on a voyage through the Straits of Magellan. Their purpose was to harass the Spanish with whom they were at war, to create commerce, and, if possible, to circumnavigate the globe. The Hoop was renamed the Eendracht after the first ship of that name became unserviceable and was burnt in the Rio de Janeiro harbor. Only the Mauritius circumnavigated and returned to Holland on August 26, 1601.
