A voyage round the world in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV by Anson
"A voyage round the world in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV" by Anson is a travel narrative published in 1748. It chronicles Commodore George Anson's harrowing circumnavigation from 1740 to 1744, during which his squadron attempted to disrupt Spanish possessions in the Pacific. Of 1,854 men who departed, only 188 survived powerful storms and disease. Despite catastrophic losses, the expedition achieved the remarkable capture of the Manila galleon, making this
widely-read account a story of extraordinary endurance and naval adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
