Item Details
Description
1790 George Anson World Voyage Spain South America HUGE MAP California Island



George Anson was an 18th-century British Navy admiral who is noted for his important world voyage in which he circumnavigated the globe. This voyage, beginning in 1740, was initiated in order to disrupt Spain and their acquisitions from the Pacific – even though the squadron saw certain danger.

“Ansons voyage is remembered as a classic tale of endurance and leadership in the face of fearful disasters” (Rodger, 239)

He saw substantial victory by capturing Spanish ships carrying pieces of eight, silver, and other treasure; thus, allowing Anson to return home a very rich sailor. This voyage took Anson and company into South America and home by way of China – a true world voyage!



This 1790 two-volume edition contains a huge folding map in the front of the first volume – a map depicting California as an island!
