The classic tales for
Portuguese ships in the mid16th century are in: Gomes de Brito, HISTORIA
TRAGICO-MARITIMA. An English selection was edited in the Hakluyt Society,
second series, by C.R. Boxer. I don’t recall whether any of these wrecks were
caused by navigational errors and/or incertainties; you’ll have to look
that up in the Caird Library.

Dear all
I have recently been
contacted by a TV producer working on with a programme (partly) to do with
celestial navigation. One of the things they were asking about was any notable
shipwrecks from about the period 1550-1650 that were due to navigational
problems/errors/uncertainties, or voyages that went astray due to such
problems. Off the top of my head, the ones that immediately came to mind were
later (Shovell, Anson, etc.).
Can anyone suggest any
good tales for this earlier period? I would welcome any suggestions.
