<dd>This work in written in the form of a journal, and with the exactness of detail that would naturally be looked for in a navigator's log-book. Van Noort was the commander of a fleet of four vessels which set out from Holland in July, 1598, and found a route to the Indies by way of the Straits of Magellan. Passing through the Straits, he voyaged along the coasts of Chile and Peru as far as 13⁰ 40' north latitude, and then turned westward across the Pacific; returning to Rotterdam in August, 1601</dd>
