'Anson's Voyage Round the World' is a nonfiction account of one of the earliest circumnavigation of the globe which was done by Commodore George Anson. While Great Britain was fighting the War of Jenkins' Ear with Spain, he led a squadron of eight ships on a mission to disrupt or capture the Pacific Ocean possessions of the Spanish Empire. Returning to Britain by way of China, the voyage was notable for the capture of the Manila Galleon, but also for horrific losses from disease with only 188 men of the original 1,854 surviving.
