Wager lost contact with the squadron while rounding Cape Horn, ran aground during a storm, and wrecked on what would become known as Wager Island in May 1741. The main body of the crew mutinied against their Captain, David Cheap, abandoned him and a group of loyal crew members, and set off in a modified open boat (named Speedwell) via the Strait of Magellan to Portuguese administered Rio de Janeiro. On the Speedwell voyage most of the crew died from starvation, some were abandoned on shore, and a smaller boat with two men aboar

  • Por motín del HMS Wager se entiende la sucesión de hechos ocurridos a la tripulación del navío inglés HMS Wager tras encallar al norte de la isla que hoy lleva su nombre, el 14 de mayo de 1741 en la Región de Aysén, hasta el regreso a Inglaterra de los sobrevivientes. Solo 29 miembros de la tripulación y 7 infantes de marina regresaron a Inglaterra, de un total de 248 hombres que viajaban en el navío, entre enfermos de la flota y tripulación de la Wager.​ (es)
