It is an account of Ansons expedition to the western coast of South America to harass the Spanish trading territories and cutting off the Spanish supplies of wealth in this way after the outbreak of the War of Jenkinss Ear between Britain and Spain in 1739. Anson was the commander of 7 ships in 1740 including the Centurion but soon his expedition threatened to turn into a fiasco. His squadron was battered by storms and bad weather causing damage and shipwrecks and many of his crew died from scurvy typhus and dysentery. The remaining crew was transferred to the Centurion the last remaining vessel and Anson limped across the Pacific to Macao. In June 1743 he sailed to the Philippines were he achieved a substantial victory near Manila by capturing the Nuestra Senora de Covadonga a Spanish galleon filled with gold. After sailing around the world Anson returned to England in June 1744 and in spite of his enormous losses he returned with large profits.Ansons voyage being one of the greatest voyages in the history of exploration and naval warfare laid the foundation for British voyages and exploration of the Pacific and more specific for English trade in this area. The present account being based upon Ansons own ship journal describing this troubled expedition soon became highly popular in the 18th century and is even considered as the masterpiece of descriptive travel and the most popular book of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century Hill.
