Antique map titled 'Carte de la Mer du Sud ou Mer Pacifique'. Original chart of the mid-Pacific Ocean, includes voyage tracks of Anson’s Centurion and the ship he stalked, the Spanish treasure galleon, Nuestra Señora de la Covadonga. The chart shows the width of the ocean at 39.5° of latitude, flanked by the coasts of California and Mexico to the east and the Philippines and Japan to the west. A few islands are included on the chart, but the main draw are the three ships’ tracks that dot the waters. Route “a” is that of the Covadonga from Manila to Acapulco, “b” is the Covadonga on its way back to Manila, and “c” is the Centurion. Where track “b” meets the Cabo Espiritu Santo of the Philippines is where the battle with Anson took place. Published by G. Anson, circa 1784.
