| Resumo: | This study approaches the English navigations along the colonial Pacific during the first part of the 18th Century, mainly through the travel logs of the British expeditioners. The logs show the knowledge that these travelers had of the American territory and the way the interests of the English expanded towards the Pacific. This change forms part of a maritime mercantile process in which different European powers and colonial territories were inmersed in and in which the American markets were of great interest to the European monarchies, for which they sought to expand their mercantile networks through the Mar del Sur. Proof of this are the English expeditions that set sail on this ocean. Each voyage represents a particular moment in British naval policy. |
