The Shipwreck.
Wish you a great new week:)
thanks :)
Subsequent to the discovery of the Magellan Straits in October of 1520, by HERNANDO DE MAGALLANES (FERDINAND MAGELLAN), from the XVI century to the XVIII century a series of expeditions took place led by daring and intrepid navigators, both Spaniards as well as English, Dutch and French, the former motivated by the urge to discover and secure the longed for passage to the Indies, as well as taking possession of the conquered lands, and the latter, determined to defy the Spanish power in the Pacific.
It is estimated that, during the course of these three centuries, few regions on the globe can exhibit in the history of their discoveries, such an abundance of expeditions, which in turn, originated a substantial number of shipwrecks.
