| Meer info | In the Dolphin Byron as captain completed the circumnavigation of the globe in 1764-1766. This was the first such circumnavigation of less than two years. During this voyage Byron took possession of the Falkland Islands. Later Byron visited islands of Tuamotus, Tokelau and Nikunau in the Gilbert Islands, putting them on European maps for the first time and visited Tinian in the Northern Marianas Islands. The Wager with Byron as midshipman formed part of a squadron under Commodore George Anson and was wrecked on the south coast of Chile in 1741. The wreck of Wager became famous for the subsequent adventures of the survivors who found themselves marooned on a desolate island in the middle of a Patagonian winter, and in particular because of the Wager Mutiny that followed. |
