Description
Nederlands: Kaart van Straat Le Maire.

Caerte van de Straeten ende Passage by Iacob le Maire ghevonden ende beseijlt in't Zuydoosten van de Magallansche Straet.

Straat Le Maire werd ontdekt tijdens de reis van Willem Schouten en Jacob Le Maire. De reis 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.

Caerte van de Straeten ende Passage by Iacob le Maire ghevonden ende beseijlt in't Zuydoosten van de Magallansche Straet.

The Le Maire Strait was discovered during the expedition by Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire. The expedition was equipped in 1615 by Le Maire's father for the Australische Compagnie. This company attempted to circumvent the VOC's patent by finding an alternative route to Indonesia. Schouten and Le Maire succeeded in their quest by sailing around Vuurland instead of the Magellan strait. But to no avail: once they reached Batavia, their story was not believed and the only remaining vessel, the Eendracht, was confiscated along with its cargo.
