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.
