Comments
Caption: "A Prospect from Sea of ye Harbour of Princess belonging to ye Portugueze." "The harbour is very convenient to carreen ships in, and most ships bound from Africa to America with slaves put in here for wood, water, etc." Smith made this survey for the Royal African Company. Principe island (actually Prince in English) lies between Ferdinando Po and St. Thome/Tome in the Atlantic.
