Publisher's Synopsis

These dramatic tales of seafaring and shipwrecks have been translated into English for the first time from Oviedo's sixteenth-century reports on the perils and disasters experienced by travellers to and from the New World. These narratives contain important information about colonial navigation, meteorology, geography, shipping, trade routes, and sociology.
