Bound sheet. Coloured manuscript. Cartographic Note: Equator and degrees of longitude marked (measured east from the Lizard meridian?). Bound into a book of sailing directions of 110ff: 'The South Sea Waggoner shewing the making & bearing of all the coasts from California to the Streights of Le Maire done from the Spanish originall by Basil Ringrose'. This chart is not in Ringrose's hand and must have been added after the islands had been visited by Eaton and Cowley in 1684.

Administrative / biographical background
