Francis Drake's circumnavigation ran from Plymouth through San Julian, Valparaíso and Callao to California and the Spice Islands of Ternate. The voyage lasted from 1577 to 26 September 1580.
This route follows seven stops, from the storm-hit departure at Plymouth to treasure at Callao and a royal welcome on Ternate. Several places are approximate, and the California landing is only traditionally identified.
Prince Charles Edward Stuart's 1745 rising began on the beach of Eriskay, raised its standard at Glenfinnan, won at Prestonpans and ended on Culloden Moor, after which the prince fled through Skye and Raasay.
The route follows the campaign from landing to flight in six stops across Scotland's west coast, the East Lothian coast, the area near Inverness and the islands of Skye and Raasay. Positions for the Skye crossing and for the battlefields are approximate, so check local signage before you go.
En 1805, la fragata HMS Surprise es machacada por un corsario francés frente a Brasil, y su capitán se niega a volver a casa. La persecución desciende hacia el sur, rodea el cabo de Hornos y llega hasta las Galápagos, con un cirujano de a bordo que solo quiere mirar pájaros.
La ruta sigue el viaje de la película y luego los lugares donde se rodó de verdad: un tanque gigante en México y el barco réplica en San Diego. Trata de la película de 2003, no de las novelas de Patrick O'Brian, y las paradas en el mar quedan sin marcador.
