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 2018-10-29 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.
