The Lure of Peru
Lure of Peru
Narborough and the Mysterious Don Carlos (1669–71)
From a reading of the preceding chapters, it is evident that the Dutch held the monopoly of intervention into the South Sea in the first half of the seventeenth century. However, in the remaining years, they were to be conspicuous only by their absence as they toiled, ultimately in vain, to hold on to conquests in Brazil, consolidated footholds in Guiana and the West Indies, and expanded their enterprises in the East Indies. Their place was now a…
The Defeat of the Peruvian Fleet by Joris van Speilbergen (1614–17)
Already at the time of the Mahu and van Noort expeditions, the States-General had begun to urge that similar commercial enterprises should merge, or coordinate their efforts, with a view to attaining a greater Dutch share of trade. This was achieved in 1602 with the creation of the East India Company, which had been granted a monopoly charter over Dutch trade eastwards via the Cape of Good Hope and westwards from the Straits of Magellan, initiall…
Jacques l’Hermite, the Nassau Fleet and the Blockade of Callao (1623–6)

However, already by 1619 a new climate of national feeling had be…
The End of an Era and the Onset of a New Phase
The buccaneer presence in the South Sea was not quite over when Davis and his former French companions set their separate courses for the West Indies, for the dispatches of the new Peruvian viceroy, the Count of La Monclova, indistinctly trace the comings and goings of a small band from mid-1689 through to the early days of 1694. The information provided by these letters, recording their encounters with shipping and entries into ports as narrated…
English and French Buccaneers
The first successors of Henry Morgan's crossing of the Isthmus of Panama were relatively few in number for most of their operations off the coasts of Peru, but the years from 1684 to 1689 were to find the South Sea invaded by more intruders than at any time since the Nassau Fleet. Their origins were diverse but their attraction to Peru was a common one, namely the aim of acquiring some portion of the wealth of the region, whether it be through tr…
