William Hack's atlas of the South Sea of America, c1682-c1700. William Hack's "Wagoner of the Great South Sea" was an atlas of the west coast of America. This page shows the Island of Juan Fernandez - situated in the south Pacific, about 650 kilometres west of Chile - on which Alexander Selkirk was marooned between 1704 and 1709. His experiences inspired Daniel Defoe to write "Robinson Crusoe", and the island is today also known as 'Robinson Crusoe's Island'.
