Description:

Antique map - FULL TITLE: A Voyage round the world in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV, by George Anson Esq. now Lord Anson, commander in chief of a squadron of his Majesty’s ships, sent upon an expedition to the South Seas. Compiled from his papers and materials by Richard Walter, M.A., chaplain of his Majesty’s ship the Centurion, in that expedition. Printed for the author by John and Paul Knapton, in Ludgate Street, London in 1749.

The engraving shows a panorama of the bay of Sequataneio (Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo). Walter writes, “… lies the harbour of Chequetan, which is still more minutely distinguished by a large and single rock, that rises out of the water a mile and a half distance from the entrance … . … The appearance of this entrance is very accurately represented in the annexed plate, where (e) is the east point of the harbour, and (d) the west, the fore mentioned rock being marked (f). In the same view (a) is a large sandy bay, but where there is no landing; (b) are four remarkable white rocks; and from the point (c) there runs another bay to the westward.

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is situated on the Pacific coast of Mexico approximately 200 kilometers north west of Acapoulco.

From the 5th edition of this narrative. The maps and views were engraved by R W Seale.
