This collection consists chiefly of materials collected for a book on Lope de Vega, the Spanish navigator who was separated in the Santa Isabel from the remains of Alvaro de Mendana's ill-starred colonizing expedition to the Solomon Islands in 1595. Hargrave's theory is that de Vega entered Port Jackson and claimed Australia as a Spanish possession, before being wrecked in Torres Strait.
