This two-volume work presents Captain Philip Carteret's account of his remarkable circumnavigation aboard HMS Swallow. After becoming separated from Samuel Wallis's Dolphin following their difficult passage through the Strait of Magellan, Carteret continued independently across the Pacific. Despite an ageing, poorly equipped ship and a crew increasingly affected by sickness, he explored little-known waters and recorded several important discoveries, including Pitcairn Island and the Carteret Islands.
