Summary: "Anson's Voyage Round the World" by Richard Walter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text charts the expedition led by Commodore George Anson during the War of Jenkins' Ear, detailing the arduous journey of his squadron as they sail around Cape Horn and into the tumultuous waters of the South Pacific, facing treacherous weather, disease, and the threat of enemy vessels. The opening of the narrative outlines the preparations for the voyage, detailing Anson's determination and the challenges ahead as his fleet sets sail from Portsmouth. It captures the atmosphere of anticipation mixed with anxiety as Anson learns about the insufficient crew numbers and the earthy conditions surrounding his expedition. The initial chapters emphasize the harsh realities of naval warfare in the 18th century, setting the stage for the ensuing struggles against nature, disease (particularly scurvy), and enemy engagement that would define the voyage's legacy.
