Drakes Treasure of the South Seas
La Plata it isn’t. – J. Morgan-Roger – London
This book is ‘vanity published’, and it shows.
If you can wade through the laborious, disjointed and labyrinthine style there are some useful nuggets.
Despite the promise of the cover the exact site of Drake’s silver dump is not revealed; in effect you are vaguely told which *very* obscure documents to read yourself; but Isla de la Plata is eliminated (he claims it was called that in 1556, but I have been unable to substantiate this due to his confused citations).
It would have been more use to print verbatim the relevant portions of the documents relied on, accurately referenced, a la Penser and Wagner.
It appears ‘Darwin Lee Fuller’ is a pseudonym for the now dead author, who’s photograph appears on the rear cover under his true name, with no explanation. (…)

Rounding the Horn: Being the Story of Williwaws and Windjammers, Drake, Darwin, Murdered Missionaries and Naked Natives–a Deck’s-eye View of Cape Horn
A Sailor Writes About the Extreme Waters – David Casseres – Palo Alto, California United States
This is an absolutely terrific read. I have sailed the ocean, but only the softer parts: downwind in the tropical Pacific. And like all sailors who have done that, I am drawn to the stories of the hard parts of the ocean, and of course Cape Horn is the very hardest. The book recounts a rather tame rounding of the Horn, in nice weather (yes, it does happen), but this account conveys the great beauty and spirit of the place, and what the sea is like there when it’s not in a howling storm; and the author had leisure on this trip to visit the places he wanted to write about, and to reflect on them.
But this account is only the skeleton of the book. It’s woven into a rich tapestry of the history of Cape Horn sailing, the people of Tierra del Fuego, and the hopelessly idiotic English missionaries who thought they could “improve” the Fuegian Indians. Here is history and tragedy, and the lesson that no encounter between Europeans and indigenous people ever had a positive effect. (The missionaries’ actual effect on the Indians was not great – other forces destroyed them.)
In the midst of the book, at its heart, is the most harrowing sea-story I’ve ever read, of a very bad passage in a windjammer. This story is what ties the whole thing together: the ships, the sailors, the terrible elements, the truth of the place. The author knows the ocean and he knows sailing and sailors, and brings that knowledge straight into his storytelling.
