Note:
Robert Dudley was the illegitimate son of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. In 1594, Dudley led an expedition to the West Indies, of which he wrote an account. After unsuccessfully trying to establish his legitimacy in court, he left England and converted to Catholicism, taking up residence in Florence where he served the Grand Dukes of Tuscany in their efforts to rid the Mediterranean of Piracy. There he worked as a noted shipbuilder and designed and published the work 'Dell'Arcano del Mare', the first maritime atlas to cover the whole world, the first Sea Atlas published by and Englishman and the first atlas to utilize the Mercator Projection on a uniform basis. Its inclusion of winds and currents was also a monumental first. This is a map of the Molucca Sea bordered on the left side by the west coast of the Halmahera Island (Gilolo) with the smaller islands of Ternate, Tidore (Tidoro), Mare (Portbakers) Moti (Motir), Makian (Macian) and Kajoa (Bachia[n]) being the center of the map. On each of the smaller islands there are forts marked denoting a more military use of this particular map. There are also marked the anchorage points and some soundings are given near the coast lines of the islands.
