  Derrotero : [manuscript]

  Manuscripts

  Derrotero with sailing instructions for the route from San Lucar, Spain, to the West Indies and Florida, with a description of duties and payment of ship's personnel (ff. 150v-177v) and table of latitudes (ff. 178-184). Dedicatory poem indicates that Luis de la Cruz is the author. Written probably about 1600, since Luis de la Cruz is first listed as master of a ship in 1585 and his name last appears in the records of the Archivo de Indias in Seville in a law suit of 1615. Internal evidence shows the volume was written after 1565 since the town of St. Augustine, Florida, founded in that year, is mentioned. Span folios: ff. 1-199v. Support: Paper. Watermark(s): Croix Latine not dissimilar from Briquet 5688 and 5704, both Perpignan (1596, 1595). Layout: Collation beginning with f. iv: 1-7²⁰ 8-10¹⁶(through f. 184) 11¹⁶(-16, now the pastedown and torn loose from the quire). 20-26 long lines with vertical bounding lines defined by folds in the paper. ff. v-199v: [Luis de la Cruz, Derrotero]: Incipit: Capitulo primero de la derrota de la barra De sant lucar a las yslas De canaria, Partiendo de la barra de san lucar ...

  Buccaneer's atlas : [cartographic material]

  Manuscripts

  The atlas also known as "The Great South Sea of America," as well as the "South Sea waggoner" contains a description of the sea coasts in the South Sea of America from the port of Acapulco to the Le Maire Straits. The atlas depicts ports, harbors, anchoring islands, sands, rock and other navigational dangers. The 132 charts are of a pictorial nature; the coast-line is laid down as in a plane map, but back from the water's edge the country is rendered as seen from the sea. The mountains and hills are given in their natural colors; towns, churches, bridges, and even isolated houses, with all other landmarks of use to navigators, have been inserted by the mapmaker, and voluminous directions are given for the entering of harbors, the avoidances of shoals and rocks, distances, together with notices of where ships were wrecked, where Sawkins (one of Sharpe's colleagues) was killed, and other historical landmarks. Charts 52 and 53 are on the same sheet. The large chart of the west coasts of Central and South America which was originally bound at the beginning of the volume was removed in December 1948 and placed in a separate portfolio.
