The World Encompassed, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the expeditions of Sir Francis Drake and his crew during their global circumnavigation between 1577 and 1580, completed in the Golden Hind. Following the initial plans set by Ferdinand Magellan, Drake's successful expedition included the acquisition of treasure, the discovery of new lands, and the continuation of previous discoveries, which altogether contributed to England's growing knowledge of the world and its people. The author, an anonymous mariner who accompanied Drake on the voyage, provides keen insights into the challenges, dangers, and rewards of exploring the vast expanse of the globe, giving a first-hand account of the events that unfolded during the three-year journey. Significant observations include the indigenous tribes they encountered, the mapping of the Pacific Coast of the Americas, and the circumnavigation of the globe, a feat that was only accomplished twice before Drake, once by Magellan and once by a Spanish expedition led by Juan Sebastian Elcano. This book not only expands our understanding of the period but also serves as a reminder of human endurance and the drive to explore the unknown. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
