This collection of excerpts from illustrated private journals, log books, letters, and diaries allows readers to experience the voyages of intrepid sailors as they were recorded at the time: in log entries and drawings. Featured are historical figures such as Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian who sailed with Magellan; Tupia, a Tahitian navigator who joined Captain Cook’s first Pacific voyage; buccaneer Bartholomew Sharp, who menaced the Spanish Main; and Jeanne Baret, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. More than 60 biographical portraits of intrepid sailors are included, each accompanied by a sample of their colorful sketches and maps.
