Produced by Karl Hagen "The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation" by Richard Hakluyt is a historical collection that documents the explorations and maritime endeavors of England during the late 16th century. The work compiles the accounts of various voyages and the commercial ties established with distant lands, shedding light on the early stages of English exploration and colonial enterprises, particularly in regions such as Madeira and the Canary Islands. At the start of this compilation, the reader is introduced to the backdrop of English exploration, with notable mentions such as the discovery of Madeira by an Englishman named Macham in the 14th century. The narrative lays the groundwork for further discussions of maritime discoveries and trade routes that were significant to the English nation during this era. It also includes references to prominent figures in England's history, such as King Henry VII, and hints at the cultural and economic exchanges between nations as a result of these voyages. This opening serves as a historical prelude to the detailed accounts that follow, setting the tone for an in-depth exploration of England's maritime exploits.
