Description
  • Title: Passage through Le Marie Strights, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Argentina, by the English pirate Anson, 1749
  • Date/Period: 1749
  • Materials: Copper plate engraved
  • Size: 15 1/2 x 10”

    Passage through Le Marie Strights toward Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Argentina. Showing the ships of Anson’s expedition. By the English pirate (‘Baron’) George Anson. Published in 1749, description of his around the world voyage from 1740-1744. From ‘Voyage Autour de Monde’ (French edition). Amsterdam, copper plate engraved. His ‘mission’ was to attack Spanish territories in western South America and engage and loot Spanish treasure galleons. If caught the Spanish would have convicted him of piracy and executed him and his crew. A different undertaking in which he lost two thirds of his crew and three of his six ships, leaving only 335 crew for the remaining voyage. His determined efforts finally saw major success when the larger and better armed Spanish treasure galleon ‘Nuestra Senora de Cobadonga’ was captured in 1743 off cape Espiritu Santo, Samar island of the Philippines. Eventually only one ship, his flags the ‘Centurion’ and just 125 crewmen remained when they returned to England in 1744. He was promoted to Lord by the British government and was one of the top English commanders during the Seven Years War. Authenticity Guaranteed. Excellent condition. 15 1/2 x 10”.
