Note 1364 — Chapter VI · (continued 3)

This Spanish chart here referred to is not identified, though Delisle credits it—according to Bancroft (Northwest Coast, i. 103)—to Jannson’s Monde Maritime. If by this is meant Jannson’s Orbis Maritimus, it was not till 1657 that Jannson added this volume to his edition of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas. Carpenter’s Geography (Oxford, 1625) repeats Purchas’s story, and many have followed it since. In Heylin and Ogilby, the story goes that some people on the coast in 1620 were carried in by the current, and found themselves in the gulf. The Spanish chart may have been the source of the map in the Amsterdam Herrera of 1622.
