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 August 14, 1624. Johan Maurits, prince of Nassau-Siegen, ordered the voyage, commanded by Admiral Jacob L'Hermite (or Jacques L'Hermite), as an expedition against Spain. The fleet circumnavigated the globe. Cf. 08299-5 in Journael vande Nassausche vloot ..., Amsterdam, 1626. Theodor de Bry and his sons issued a series of books on voyages to America in fifteen parts between 1590 and 1634. In 1631, Gottfried (a printer who had worked on the de Bry volumes) issued this one-volume condensation of all the voyages. He reused many of the plates from the original volumes, but supplemented them with new ones.. Theodor de Bry. America. Part 13.
