Description
Nederlands: Vogelvlucht van Leeuweneiland en Porto Desire.

Op de kaart zijn de legendanummers A t/m N gegeven met verklaring.

De reis van Schouten en Le Maire werd in 1615 uitgerust door de vader van Le Maire voor de Australische Compagnie. Deze compagnie probeerde het octrooi van de VOC te omzeilen door een andere route naar Indonesië te vinden. Dit lukte Schouten en Le Maire, door om Vuurland heen te zeilen, in plaats van door de straat Magelaen. Het mocht niet baten: eenmaal in Batavia werden ze niet geloofd en het overgebleven schip, de Eendracht, werd met lading in beslag genomen.

Porto Desire ligt aan de Patagonische kust van Argentinië. De expeditie van Willem Schouten en Jacob le Maire wilde hier aan land om vers water en voedsel in te slaan. Het noodlot sloeg echter toe: bij onderhoud ging het jacht 'Hoorn' in vlammen op. De brand is rechts op de afbeelding te zien.

Linksonder is te zien hoe de bemanning een zeeleeuw doodt om aan vlees te komen.

The chart bears the numbers A through N of a key, together with explanatory notes.

Van Schouten and Le Maire's journey was equipped by Le Maire's father in 1615 for the Australische Compagnie. This company attempted to circumvent the VOC patent by finding an alternative route to Indonesia. Schouten and Le Maire succeeded in their quest by sailing around Vuurland instead of through the Magellan Straits. But it was all in vain, for once in Batavia their story was not believed and their one remaining ship, the Eendracht, was confiscated along with its cargo. Porto Desire is situated on Argentina's Patagonian coast. The expedition of Willem Schouten and Jacob le Maire had intended to make landfall here to stock up with fresh water and provisions. But fate intervened: during repairs the vessel 'Hoorn' burst into flames. The blaze is depicted on the right of the picture. Bottom left the crew is shown killing a seal for its meat.
