About this book
The eleventh volume of Richard Hakluyt’s compilation gathers records of English voyages, trade, and discovery, with Africa as its geographic focus. It preserves documents and sailors’ reports for readers interested in the practical record of exploration and commerce rather than a single continuous story. One section reproduces a Portuguese royal grant and a letter seeking Anthony Anes Pinteado’s return under safe conduct, bringing court business into the collection of travel accounts. After a difficult passage around the Cape in 1593, a crew reaches St Helena and finds John Segar, an English sailor left there to recover.
