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 September 28, 1624. Text notes the presence of a recently rebuilt fort on a point of land intended to protect the Manilla ships. 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. 08299-7 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.
