The one passenger was written as a paragraph at the bottom of the page. * Although written as Musquito Shore the departure port is most likely "Mosquito Shores" of Honduras or Nicaragua. see http://www.latinworld.com/magazine/miskito.htm Numerous lagoons, river mouths and natural canals along the densely forested Mosquito Coast of Honduras and Nicaragua provided buccaneers and pirates a perfectly secure refuge to split their booty. Large Spanish war ships refused to pursue pirates here, and chance the insidious winds, shallow waters or an ambush. La Mosquitia is a region in Central America which includes the Departments of Gracias A Dios in Honduras (16630 sq. kms) and "Zelaya" in Nicaragua (36026 sq. kms) all totaled, some 500 kilometers of untouched Caribbean shoreline, 22 lagoons and 19 major rivers. An area larger than Costa Rica and more than twice the size of Belize.
