1835 1ed Voyages Downes Navy Potomac Illustrated Indonesia Brazil Sumatra Peru
John Downes was a 19th-century American naval officer who, in 1831, commanded a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean. This journey led the USS Potomac to encounter many Malay people groups in Sumatra – eventually many sea battles were waged with cannon fire and bombardments. On its return home, the Potomac became the second American ship to circumnavigate the world. Before the conclusion of the expedition, American author Jeremiah Reynolds boarded the ship in Chile and began writing a book detailing the events of the voyage.
