The ships 500 foot long junks made from the finest teak and mahogany were led by Emperor Zhu Di's loyal eunuch admirals. Their mission was 'to proceed all the way to the end of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas' and unite the whole world in Confucian harmony. Their journey would last over two years and circle the entire globe. hen they returned Zhu Di had fallen from power and China was beginning its long self-imposed isolation from the world it had so recently embraced. The great ships rotted at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. They has also discovered Antarctica reached Australia three hundred and fifty years before Cook and solved the problem of longitude three hundred years before the Europeans. avin Menzies has spent fifteen years tracing the astonishing voyages of the Chinese fleet.

‎Gmelin, Johann Georg‎

‎Reise durch Sibirien von dem Jahr 1733 bis 1743, Bd. 1 (v. 4).‎

‎Göttingen, Vandenhoeck, 1751. 13 Bl., 467 S. Neuerer brauner Halblederband mit Lederecken und dreiseitigem Farbschnitt.. Mit 2 Kupfertafeln. Reisebeschreibung des Botanikers und Forschungsreisenden Johann Georg Gmelin (1709 - 1755) über seine Teilnahme an der "Großen Nordischen Expedition" bzw. "Zweiten Kamtschatkaexpedition" in den Jahren 1733 bis 1743. Ziel dieser unter der Leitung des Marineoffiziers Vitus Bering ("Kolumbus des Zaren", 1681 - 1741) unternommenen Expedition war vor allem die nähere Erkundung des bis dahin wenig erforschten Sibiriens und der nördlichen Küsten Rußland sowie der Seewege von Ostsibirien nach Nordamerika und Japan. Gmelin, der 1728 im Alter von erst 19 Jahren an der Universität Tübingen in den Fächern Medizin und Naturwissenschaften promoviert hatte, erlangte zur Fortsetzung seiner Studien ein Stipendium der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in St. Petersburg und 1731 eine Professur für Chemie und Naturgeschichte an der dortigen Universität. Ein Jahr darauf wurde er auf seine Bewerbung hin von Zarin Anna Iwanowna für die große Expedition ausgewählt. Die zehnjährige Reise bildete die Grundlage für Gmelins einschlägiges, in vier Bänden herausgegebenes Werk "Flora Sibirica sive Historia plantarum Sibiriae". Im hier vorliegenden Band 1 seines umfangreichen Berichtes beschreibt Gmelin den ersten Teil seiner Reise, die ihn über die Stationen Jaroslawl, Kasan, Tobolsk, Semipalatinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk (Öskemen), Tomsk, Jenisseisk und Irkutsk bis Jakutsk führen sollte, von 1733 bis zum Mai 1735.‎
