notes:
Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker merchant from Port Royal, Jamaica, was shipwrecked on present-day Jupiter Island, near Hobe sound on the southeast coast of Florida in 1696, along with his family and the other passengers and crew members of the ship. They were held captive by Indians for several days and then forced to travel by boat and on foot the 230 miles up the coast to Saint Augustine. Some of the passengers, staunch Quakers, persuaded the others not to resist the local Jaega Indians from the town of Jobe. The Indians threatened the castaways and took most of their possessions but allowed them to proceed northwards toward Philadelphia. This image follows the special title page for Ongelukkige schipbreuk en yslyke reystogt, van etlyke Engelschen, in den jaare 1696 van Jamaika in West Indien, na Pensylvania ..., Leiden, 1707. This collection of voyages consists of 127 parts, each having a special title page, separate pagination, and register. The voyages covering the period from 1246 to 1696 are arranged chronologically.
