Description
This rather scarce map shows the route of Captain William Dampier's voyage as commander of the HMS Roebuck. It traveled from Britain through the the Canary Islands to Brazil and then around the tip of Africa to Western New Holland/Australia and the East Indies. The return trip ended on Ascension Island where the ship foundered and was scuttled due to "rotting." The captain and crew were marooned for five weeks before being picked by an East Indiaman and returned home in August 1701. The expedition explored the East Indies with plans to explore the east coast of Australia, but were forced to abandon this goal as the ship's condition worsened. This British scientific expedition was sponsored by the British Admiralty and by inference King William III. From the French edition of Dampier's New Voyage Round the World.
