Drawing on newly uncovered evidence, geographer and maritime historian Samuel Bawlf masterfully reconstructs Francis Drakes historic round-the-world expedition, exploring the drama surrounding the voyage and offering intriguing insights into life at sea in the sixteenth century. But it is Bawlfs assertion of Drakes whereabouts in the summer of 1579 that gives the book even greater originality: from an intensive study of maps of the period, Bawlf shows with certainty that Drake sailed all the way to Alaska-much farther than anyone has heretofore imagined-thereby rewriting the history of exploration in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678497349872,"sku":"NEW0142004596","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-secret-voyage-of-sir-francis-drake-1577-1580-by-bawlf","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
