Note:
This is a simplified yet fairly accurate chart of the East Indies. On the map it is marked the route from Richery (fl. 1800), a hydrographer and a naval officer commanding the ship Marquis-de-Castries in 1787. The route is from Puducherry in India -marked as 'Pondichery' on the map- to the Philippines and back via Macau. The route goes trough the Strait of Malacca, as was common at the time, then following the Malay coast until Cambodia, then to the Vietnamese Pulo Condor and Pulo Sapate, Con Son and Hon Hai respectively, until the Philippines. On the way back, the ship goes to Macau and then to the coast of Vietnam, avoiding the Paracels and always close to the coast line, again through the Malacca Strait to Ceylon -modern day Sri Lanka- and finally to Puducherry.
