TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
As noted in the Preface, some [missing words] in the text have been added inside brackets [ ] in this edition. Many archaic and nautical terms are explained in the Footnotes.
On some handheld devices the two genealogical tables are best viewed in a small font or in landscape mode. An image of each table from the original text is also provided.
