Don Jose de Mazarredo y Salazar de Muñatones Cortázar Order of Santiago (Bilbao 1745 – Madrid, 1812) was a Spanish naval commander, cartographer, ambassador, astronomer and professor of naval tactics. He is considered to be one of the best Spanish naval commanders of all time. ==Early life== His inclination toward the sea began at a young age; at 14 he enlisted himself aboard the sloop ''Andaluz''. After 12 years of service in the Spanish navy, and by the good concept his superiors had to him, he was made assistant of the maritime department of Cartagena. In 1772 Don Mazarredo went to the Philippines aboard the Frigate ''Venus'', but in 1774 he was transferred to the frigate ''Rosalía'' and took part in a hydrographic campaign South America. In 1775 he took part of the Spanish attack on Algiers. The plans of navigation, anchorage and disembarkation of the twenty thousand men of the Spanish army were made by him. Shortly after, Don Mazarredo developed a tabular system for the use of the Spanish Navy.〔Tracy p.85〕 In 1778, as commander of the ship of the line San Juan Bautista, he realised hydrographic surveys in the Iberian Peninsula, contributing to the creation of a Maritime Atlas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jose de Mazarredo y Salazar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
