Pampatar, Margarita Island, Venezuela

Pampatar
1567

Pampatar, Margarita Island, Venezuela Hawkins and Drake amicably traded with the Spaniards but none of the narratives named the port. However, the Travailes of Job Hortop state that a mile off the island is a rock covered with birds. Only off the deep water port of Pampatar is there a rock. This is inhabited by pelicans.
