- A simple chart but not drawn to scale featuring several South Pacific islands located within the northern Tuamoto Archipelago situated northeast of Tahiti in French Polynesia. These particular islands were discovered by Dutch explorers Jacob le Maire and Willem Schouten on their 1615-1616 voyage westward from Tierra del Fuego. Their initial discoveries included a series of coral atolls notably Honden Island [i.e. Pukapuka in the Disappointment Islands] on 10th April 1616, and further south-west Sondergrond Island [i.e. Takaroa] on 14th April, quickly followed by Waterland Island [i.e. Manihi] and Vlieghen Island [i.e. Rangiroa in the Palliser Islands]. The map also includes Magellan's 1521 discovery of the I. des los Tiburones (the Island of Sharks) [possibly Flint Island in the Kiribati Republic]. The chart does not reflect accurately relative distances between islands. The English cartographer Robert Dudley, a skilled mathematician and navigator, after being exiled from England settled in Florence where he published this chart in the first sea atlas using Mercator projection. This chart, engraved by Antonio Lucini, is embellished with a title cartouche, large compass rose and a sailing ship.
