Richard Hakluyt, The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation, The Iland of Canaria. (search)
The Iland of Canaria.THE Iland of Canaria is almost equal in length and bredth, containing 12 leagues in length, touching the which as principall and the residue, the Spanyards holde opinion, that they discovered the same in their navigation toward America , but the Portugals say, that their nation first found the sayd Ilands in their navigation toward Aethiopia and the East Indies. But truth it is that the Spanyards first conquered these Ilands, with divers English gentlemen in their company, whose posterity this present day injoyeth them. Some write that this Iland was named Canaria by meane of the number of dogs which there were found: as for example, Andrew Thevet sayth, that one Juba carried two dogs from thence: but that opinion could I never learne by any of the naturall people of the countrey, although I have talked with many in my time, and with many of their children. For trueth it is, that there were dogs, but such as are in all the Northwest land

But touching his owne travell, which he affirmeth, I refer to the judgement of the expert in our dayes, and therefore for mine owne part I write of these Canaria Ilands, as time hath taught me in many yeres.

st parts of Guinea. From hence Westward, and somewhat toward the North, are the kingdoms of Gambra and Budomel, not farre from the river of Senega. And from hence toward the inland regions, and along by the sea coast, are the regions of Ginoia or Guinea, which we commonly call Ginnee. On the Westside of these regions toward the Ocean, is the cape or point called Cabo verde, or Caput viride, (that is) the greene cape, to the which the Portugals first direct their course when they saile to America , or the land of Brasile . Then departing from hence, they turne to the right hand toward the quarter of the winde called Garbino, which is betweene the West and the South. But to speake somewhat more of Æthiopia: although there are many nations of people so named, yet is Aethiopia chiefly divided into two parts, whereof the one is called Aethiopia under Aegypt, a great & rich region. To this perteineth the Island Meroe, imbraced round about with the stremes of the river Nilus. In this

the fourth part of the world, commonly called America , which by all descriptions I found to bee an t this day to be discerned: By which accident America grew to be unknowen of long time, unto us of Westerne Islands, which beare now the name of America : countervailing thereby the name of Atlantis,to India? &c. seeing that Atlantis now called America , was ever knowen to be an Island, and in thosof the sea Atlantine: which likewise prooveth America to be an Island, and in no part adjoyning to nd Japhet. Wherefore I am of opinion that America by the Northwest will be found favourable to countreys and Capes, on the Northwest side of America , from Hochelaga to Cape de Paramantia: descr of Cataia and Gronland , towards any part of America , making both Gronland and America , Islands America , Islands disjoyned by a great sea, from any part of Asia. All which learned men and painefull travellers ave affirmed with one consent and voice, that America was an Island: and that there lyeth a great S

er, who signified by signes, that they were thirty dayes coming thither: which likewise proveth America by experience to be disjoyned from Cataia, on that part by a great Sea, because they could not come from any part of America , as Natives thereof: for that, so farre as is discovered, there hath not bene found there any one Shippe of that countrey. 3 In like maner, John Baros testifieth thaters knew no cause to the contrary, but that it might continue further. By whose experiences America is prooved to be separate from those parts of Asia, directly against the same. And not contenteer sayd for the confirmation hereof. 4 And I found that Franciscus Lopez de Gomara affirmeth America to be an Island, and likewise Gronland : and that Gronland is distant from Lappia 40 leagues, tier, who made two voyages into those parts, and sayled 900 miles upon the Northeast coastes of America doe in part confirme the same. 6 Likewise Hieronymus Fracastorius, a learned Italian, and t

os is not by me wrested, to prove my opinion of the Northwest passage: you shall finde the same affirmed more plainly in that behalfe, by the excellent Geographer Dominicus Marius Niger, who sheweth how many wayes the Indian sea stretcheth it selfe, making in that place recital of certaine Indians, that were likewise driven through the North Seas from India, upon the coastes of Germany , by great tempest, as they were sayling in trade of marchandize. 5 Also while Frederic Barbarossa reigned Emperour, Anno Do. 1160. there came certaine other Indians upon the coast of Germanie. 6 Likewise Othon in the storie of the Gothes affirmeth, that in the time of the Germane Emperours, there were also certaine Indians cast by force of weather, upon the coast of the sayd countrey, which foresaid Indians could not possibly have come by the Southeast, Southwest, nor from any part of Afrike or America , nor yet by the Northeast: therefore they came of necessitie by this our Northwest passage.

Cap. 5.FIRST, they could not come from the Southeast by the Cape y in like sort, should have driven them Westward upon some part of America : for such winds and tides could never have led them from thence tog any place (once leaving the coast of Afrikeļ¼‰ untill they came to America , nor from America untill they arrived upon some part of Europe, oAmerica untill they arrived upon some part of Europe, or the Islands adjoyning to it, to have refreshed themselves. 4 Also, if (notwithstanding such impossibilities) they might have recovered Ge into our Westerne Ocean through that fret, from the West seas of America , as Magellans experience hath partly taught us. 6 And further, , were Indians, & not inhabiters of any part either of Africa or America , it is manifest, because the natives both of Africa and America America neither had, or have at this day (as is reported) other kind of boates then such as do beare neither mastes nor sailes, (except onely upon the

And further said in the presence of sir Henry Sidney (then lord Deputie of Ireland) ed of this passage by the frier Urdaneta, and by the common opinion of the Spaniards inhabiting America , offered most willingly to accompanie me in this Discovery, which of like he would not have donany yeeres past) might serve litle to proove this passage by the North of America, because both America and India were to them then utterly unknowen : to remoove this doubt, let this suffise: That Ar

And further, we should share with the Portugall in the East, & the Spaniard in the West, by trading to any part of America , thorow Mar del Sur, where they can no maner of way offend us. 3 Also we might sayle to divers very rich countreys, eover, we might from all the aforesaid places have a yeerely returne, inhabiting for our staple some convenient place of America , about Sierra Nevada, or some other part, whereas it shal seeme best for the shortning of the voyage. 6 Beside utterthat the right way may now easily be found out in short time: and that with litle jeoperdie and lesse expences.
