Description
Fascinating early view of the harbor at Lima, published by Renneville in his Recueil des Voyages ... les Provinces-Unies des Pais-Bas, circa 1725.
On May 12, 1624, Dutch Admiral Jacques L'Hermite attacked Callao, burning 30 Spanish ships. This bird's-eye view depicts this incident, showing the port of Callao with Spanish and Dutch ships in the bay, engaged in battle. Several Dutch ships are labeled on the map, including the Hollandia, the Delft, the Amsterdam, and the Eendracht. The fortifications and buildings of Callao are rendered in nice detail. A compass rose radiates rhumb lines in the bay.
