World map on Mercators Projection with the tracks of George Anson’s voyage.
In 1740. Commodore George Anson led a squadron of eight ships on a mission to disrupt or capture Spain’s Pacific possessions. Returning to Britain in 1744 by way of China and thus completing a circumnavigation, the voyage was notable for the capture of an Acapulco galleon but also horrific losses to disease with only 188 men of the original 1,854 surviving.
