EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic incident during the historic circumnavigation of the world by Le Maires and Schoutens in 1615-16. Published in Volume II of Chronological History of the Voyages and Discoveries in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean by Burney, this engraving showcases an intense moment during their journey. In this scene, we witness a primitive boat sailing through treacherous seas as trouble looms on the horizon. The explorers find themselves under attack from pirates, who are seen firing their guns at close range. The tension is palpable as these brave adventurers navigate through uncharted waters while facing imminent danger. Le Maires and Schoutens were renowned for discovering the Drake Passage, which provided a new route around the southern tip of South America. Their groundbreaking exploration opened up new possibilities for future voyages and trade routes. The image portrays not only the perils faced by these intrepid sailors but also highlights their resilience and determination to push boundaries despite adversity. It serves as a testament to the courage exhibited by early explorers who risked everything to expand our understanding of the world. This evocative photograph offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
