Texts on the Mariana Islands
George Anson (1749)
Des Herrn Admirals, Lord Ansons Reise um
die Welt in den Jahren 1740, 41, 42, 43, 44


compiled by Dirk H.R. Spennemann


As part of the documentation project of German language sources on the Mariana Islands, the Mariana Islands section of the first German edition of Anson's voyage was also to be copied. Due to the rarity of the volume, standard photocopy was not possible and an overhead scanner/photocopier was not available. Instead, digital page photographs had to be made. This allows to reproduce these page images online. The original copy used is held by the Museum für Vökerkunde, Hamburg, Germany.
