This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WOODES ROGERS commanded the most successful privateering expedition of the early eighteenth century. With his men and ships he sacked the rich town of Guiaquil and took one of the fabulously wealthy Manila Galleons: Nostra Seniora del Incarnation Desengano. During one of the many vicious confrontations with the Spanish, Rogers took a bullet in face, causing the top half of his jaw to fall to the deck, but this didn't hinder him from remaining in command and writing out his further orders on paper. He used many unique strategies to maintain order over his small fleet (the Duke, the Dutchess, the Marquiss, and the Batchelor) manned by wretched, disorderly sailors. This version of his journal was edited by Robert C. Leslie, giving the book a fast pace and adventurous flavor. INCLUDES: 50+ pages of maps and classic privateering images.

This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WOODES ROGERS commanded a privateering expedition with Royal permission to engage the French and Spanish and take what booty he could. The expedition took two ships - the Dutch and the Dutchess - clear around the world and met with great success. The journey was navigated by William Dampier, who was and given the honorable title of "Pilot of the South-Seas." The voyage had many remarkable events, including the unlikely rescue of the marooned Alexander Selkirk, who's life would form the model for the famous novel Robinson Crusoe. On December 22, 1709, the expedition took the Nostra Seniora de la Incarnacion Disenganio, the first of the year's Manila Galleons bound for Acapulco. Rogers was a master mariner, a wildly successful privateer and scrupulously kept a journal of his remarkable circumnavigation of the globe, which was published upon his return to England as Cruising Voyage Round the World.

Book excerpt: Woodes Rogers-the man who rescued 'Robinson Crusoe' In the history of the British at sea, the names of many of its greatest men have long been familiar to almost everyone. For many, however, the name Woodes Rogers may not be foremost among them. Yet in the time of Queen Anne this master mariner, sailing from Bristol, circumnavigated the globe in a momentous two and a half year odyssey with his two ships-Duke and Duchess. He was an English privateer of some repute and was successful against the Spanish, taking several prizes in the Pacific on his epic voyage. It was he who rescued the 'real' marooned hero of Daniel Defoe's adventure Robinson Crusoe-Alexander Selkirk-from Juan Fernandez Island and promptly made him captain of one of his own prize ships the Increase. This astonishing man went on to be the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas, held the post twice, beat off Spanish attempts to gain influence in the region and substantially cleared the Caribbean seas of pirates. This fascinating book combines the research of historian Robert Leslie with Woodes Rogers own journals to make a vital account of an extraordinary mariner from the great age of sail. Through its pages the reader may trace Rogers' career and voyages of the early eighteenth century which inevitably are full of incident and interest. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

This book was released on 2018-10-14 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Dampier and Lionel Wafer despised Captain Bartholomew Sharp as a coward and entirely unfit for command. Basil (Baz) Ringrose thought Sharp a bold commander of excellent conduct. He was twice voted out of his Captaincy and only regained it when his replacements were killed. He thwarted a crew's plan to murder him by having them drink the ship's store of wine before executing their plans to murder him on Christmas day, 1680, denying them the alcohol they needed to get their courage up. He pillaged and plundered Spanish towns and ships up and down the Western coast of the Americas. Problem was, England and Spain were at peace. The Spaniards pressed King Charles II to prosecute Sharp for piracy. Instead, Sharp presented King Charles II with a rare book of Spanish maps, outlining unknown lands for the English. Instead of dangling at the end of a rope Sharp received a royal pardon. No matter how bold Sharp was, he never made his fortune raiding the Spanish. He was destined to die in a Dutch debtors prison on St. Thomas Island in the Caribbean. Sharp took over two dozen prize ships in his life, but failed to secure any significant booty. He was bold, daring and unlucky. It may not have been a charmed life, but Sharp did indeed live a life well-worth the reading - for entertainment and historical insight into the golden age of piracy.

This book was released on 2018-10-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Funnell wrote a fantastic account of William Dampier's privateering excursion into the South Seas in the ship St George, in the years 1703 And 1704. Funnell was a mutinous sea-dog who, along with his fellow band of fools, ensured the failure of Dampier's privateering expedition and marooned Dampier and loyal crew members in the South Sea. The mutineers alerted the Spaniards to Dampier's marooning by releasing the Spanish prisoners. Fully expecting Dampier to die in the South Seas, Funnell returned and prepared a manuscript in which he aggrandizes himself and denigrates Dampier. This slanderous book prompted Dampier to publish his now infamous "vindication" in which Dampier heatedly points out Funnell's propensity for humbug. Dampier's Vindication is provided as a prologue in order to provide context from a more reliable narrator. Search Amazon for "tomes maritime dampier" and discover: THE DAMPIER COLLECTION Vol. 1.

This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 300+ years ago, motivated by a "sacred hunger for gold," an ordinary sailor accompanied Captain Sharp and several hundred other cut-throats on a piratical maritime pilgrimage in the South Seas of the Spanish Main. This humble sailor kept a journal of his voyage, which contains the plain sailing details a sailor might record in his journal, but it also contains a record of the violent assaults and murderous rampage he and his fellow sea-dogs brought upon the Spanish America's West coast. Accounts of this piratical expedition were written by William Dampier, Basil Ringrose, Dick Williams and Captain Sharp - of all these accounts, this plain sailor's journal might be considered the most basic and unvarnished of them all.
