Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays in Historical Geography: And on Kindred Subjects Hernando De Grijalva or Grljalvarez is a lesser light in the firmament of oceanic discovery but as a satellite of Cortes and, seeing that his name is associated with that of Pizarro, it is befitting that the little that is known of him should be remembered. We first hear of Grijalva in 1533 in which year he was ordered by Cortes to command one of two vessels which were to make a voyage in the South Sea. The ship of Grijalva was the San Lorenzo; the flag-ship was the Concepcion which appears to have been commanded by one Mendoza, and both vessels are said to have been owned by the Marquis del Valle. There is an account of this voyage in the Spanish Archives or the Indies which appears from internal evidence to have been written by an officer of the San Lorenzo. From his narrative it appears that the vessels sailed from Santiago near Tehuantepec on the 31 st of October, 1533. On the day of departure it was found that the San Lorenzo could not keep pace with the Concepcion and was falling behind when the Concepcion signalled to her to go her own way. The vessels then parted company and of the Concepcion we hear no more. The San Lorenzo made several attempts to rejoin her consort but never succeeded in doing so. Her course was a devious one. Finally, after holding for some days on a southerly course, she turned northwards, apparently in accordance with the Instructions received from Cortes regarding the course to be followed if Grijalva should be separated from the other ship.
