About This Book

An eyewitness narrative recounts a sixteenth-century oceanic expedition that completed a global circumnavigation, blending daily log entries of weather, navigation, encounters with islands and indigenous peoples, and incidents of illness, loss, and conflict, including a recorded mutiny. The volume brings together complementary materials such as navigational instructions, ship logs, crew lists, maps and charts, official orders, and letters from contemporary writers, combining vivid voyage reportage with technical guidance on seamanship and practical particulars of costs and organization.
