Note 95 — BARTHOLOMEW SHARP AND OTHERS.
Reading edition
Probably it was icebergs they saw. The Nodal brothers' Relacion, which they seem to have been following, mentions, p. 37 vo. (p. 245 of Markham), northeast of Cape Horn, "three islands which are very like the Berlings"; but these are the Barnevelt Islands, in about 55° 20´ S. lat. The original Berlengas are a group of rocky islands, well known to navigators, off the coast of Portugal.
