Mr. Christy quotes differently in his foot note page 45. We note the following conditions on this Silver Map: The two hemispheres are on a stereographic projection on the plane of a meridian. The eastern hemisphere contains Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Netherlands Indies; so there is but little of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans thereon. The western hemisphere embraces North and South America with nearly all the Pacific Ocean, north and south. The engraver certainly had a special reason for this apportionment. The "Terra Australis Nvndvm cognita" occupies the southern one-third of each hemisphere. On the eastern hemisphere the prime meridian is evidently Ferro Island and the longitudes are reckoned and numbered on the Antarctic Circle eastwardly by ten degree meridians divided in half at the equator. This prime meridian is the western limit of the hemisphere. The western hemisphere therefore contains North and South America, and nearly all the Pacific, and the meridians 190 and 200 only are numbered. The parallels of latitude are given for each ten degrees, and subdivided to single degrees on the circumference, where they are of no use. "The plate bears no inscription or indication of any kind showing "the name of the maker or the date when it was made"; (page 2.) Nor is there any proof that it was prepared in commemoration of Drake's return from his famous voyage. This paper by Mr. Christy is based solely upon the assumption that the Silver Map was made for the purpose he has indicated. The only suggestion for such a hypothesis is that it_has part of the track of Drake represented by a dotted line, and that no other track is laid down; (page 14.) That of course is a marked feature and...

Download or read book Commander Francis Drake & the West Coast Mysteries written by Gunnar Thompson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovery of Drake's "lost" navigational chart finally reveals secrets behind his voyage to America's West Coast in 1579. The secret location of Drake's colony "New Albion" is finally identified. This was the "first" British colony in America; and it marks the beginning of the British Empire. At last, we know the reason for an ongoing feud between Queen Elizabeth and Sir Francis. He wanted desperately to rescue the shipmates that he left behind in New Albion. Drake used a shipboard clock to map the West Coast. This is the first map of America that was made using a chronometer: thus Drake's map is accurate to within 15-degrees of the true longitude. Drake was not "just a pirate" as most historians assume. He was a naturalist, ethnographer, and geographer. Drake's map and his new ship design opened the way for the Dutch East India Company.

Book excerpt: "This manuscript is a fresh look at determining the location of the 1579 landing site of Sir Francis Drake on the northwest coast of North America to repair his ship, the Golden Hind. This landing location has long been debated and was claimed by California, especially with the finding of the brass plate thought to be an artifact of Drake's landing located on a hill overlooking San Francisco Bay. Although the brass plate was supposedly authenticated in 1938, by 1977 it was proven to be a hoax, yet no re-examination of the landing question or associated data was completed"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, Samuel Bawlf offers fascinating insight into life at sea in the sixteenth century, from the dangers of mutiny and the difficulty of understanding patterns of wind and current to the arduous physical challenges faced every day by Drake’s men. But it is Bawlf's assertion of Drake’s whereabouts in the summer of 1579 that gives his book its exciting originality. Based especially on his seminal study of maps produced after the voyage, Bawlf shows with certainty that Drake sailed all the way to Alaska, much farther north than anyone has heretofore imagined, thereby rewriting the history of exploration. He was, Bawlf claims, in search of the western entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage, at which he planned to found England’s first colony, and wrest control of the Pacific from Spain. Drake’s voyage was in fact so far ahead of its time that another 200 years would pass before the eighteenth-century explorers of record reached the northwest coast of North America.

When two ships meet off the Pacific coast of New Spain, an enslaved woman seizes the chance to escape. But Maria has unwittingly joined Francis Drake's circumnavigation voyage as he sets sail on a secret detour into the far north. Sailing into the unknown on the Golden Hind, a lone woman among eighty men, Maria will be tested to the very limits of her endurance. It will take all her wits to survive - and courage to cut the ties that bind her to Drake to pursue her own journey. How far will Maria go to be truly free? Inspired by a true story, this is the tale of one woman's uncharted voyage to freedom.
