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.
1805年、英国海軍のフリゲート艦サプライズ号はブラジル沖でフランスの私掠船に痛めつけられるが、艦長は故国に帰ろうとしない。追跡は南へ向かい、ホーン岬を回ってガラパゴスにまで至る。船医は、ただ鳥を観察したいだけなのだが。 このルートは、映画の航海をたどったあと、実際に撮影が行われた場所を訪ねる。メキシコの巨大な水槽と、サンディエゴにある復元船だ。取り上げるのは2003年の映画で、パトリック・オブライアンの小説ではない。また、海上の地点にはピンを置いていない。
