A Spanish Voyage to Vancouver and the North-West Coast of America Being the Narrative of the Voyage Made in the Year 1792 by the Schooners Sutil and Mexicana to Explore the Strait of Fuca edited by Cecil JaneBook Description: Nico Israel, Amsterdam, 1971. In fine condition. 4to. Facsimile reprint of the 1930 London edition. 356pp. , with 7 plates and maps. Bound in simulated calf. The account of the expedition of the schooners Sutil and Mexicana to the N. W. Coast of America was origin...ally printed in 1802 by Martín Fernández de Navarrete. The narrative is anonymous, but internal evidence suffices to prove that it was written by one of the officers attached to the expedition, on the Sutil. There is some reason for the assumption that this unknown officer was probably the cartographer on this vessel. Narratives of voyages to discover a N. W. Passage from the Atlantic side are familiar to all, but the efforts of the Spaniards to find such a passage from the Pacific are much less known. 44558Shipping: All of our books are carefully wrapped, packaged and promptly shipped.
