English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is a 1706 Dutch translation of Gabriel Archer's account of Bartholomew Gosnold's 1602 voyage. The original English account by Archer was published in Samuel Purchas's 'Purchas His Pilgrimes' (1625). While the original English text exists, the specific 1706 Dutch translation has never been translated into English. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Dutch source.
