Richard Hakluyt, “The famous voyage of Sir Francis Drake into the South Sea, and there hence about the whole globe of the earth, begun in the year of our Lord 1577” (1589).

I trust that the timeliness of this passage is apparent.

The Voyage of Sir Francis Drake Around the Whole Globe is no. 65 in the Penguin Little Black Classics series (2015).
