Voyage of the Leopard from The Fortune of War Complete

January 2, 2008, 12:00 am

The voyage of Jack Aubrey in command of the HMS Leopard described at the begining of The Fortune of War is mapped. This course was mostly guesswork based on retrospective comments made after the Leopard reaches Palau Batang (an almost certainly fictional port in the Dutch East Indies). Thanks mostly to Jaap from the Gunroom for his take on the course of the Leopard.

Voyage of the Leopard from Desolation Island complete

December 1, 2007, 12:00 am

The voyage of Jack Aubrey in command of the HMS Leopard is mapped. Mapping The Horrible Old Leopard's disastrous voyage to the colonies was a breath of fresh air after the complexity of The Mauritius Command. I have probably taken the most license with this map, trying to approximate the movements of the Leopard after she encounters the Waakzaamheid in the south Atlantic (my favorite part of the cannon). I apologise if my lubberly interpretation of events is inaccurate and welcome any suggestions or corrections.
