Description
Nederlands: Kustaanzichten in de Straat Le Maire.

Titel in Catalogus Leupe (NA): Kaartje van Valentijnsbay (in de Straat Le Maire), wordt by de Spanjaerden genaemt: El Puerto de bon Sucesso [NB. Deze titel hoort bij Nationaal Archief, Den Haag, inv. nr. VEL0730].

Om na Baldivia te Seijlen.

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.

Om na Baldivia te Seijlen.

The Le Maire Strait was discovered during the expedition of Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire. The expedition was equipped in 1615 by Le Maire's father for the Australian Company. This company attempted to circumvent the VOC's patent by opening up an alternative route to Indonesia. Schouten and Le Maire succeeded in doing so, by circumnavigating Vuurland instead of heading through the Magellan Strait. But to no avail; on arrival in Batavia their story was not believed and their one remaining vessel, the Eendracht, was confiscated along with its cargo.
