Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into Sir Francis Drake's 1580 voyage, shrouded in mystery due to impounded journals and strict silence imposed on his crew. Samuel Bawlf, a geographer and maritime historian, utilizes newly discovered evidence to reconstruct this historic expedition, shedding light on sixteenth-century maritime life. Notably, Bawlf asserts that Drake reached Alaska in 1579, challenging previous notions of his journey and significantly altering the narrative of North American exploration.
