An interesting large sheet with two maps that cover the same area of the central Pacific. The top chart shows the routes of the Spanish galleons from Acapulco to the Philippines along with the track of Commodore Anson. This chart does not show the Hawaiian Islands, as they were unknown to the Spanish. The bottom chart shows La Perouse's route from Monterey, through Hawaii and the Mariannes, to Macao.
