Word: Pescadores Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Portuguese Ilhas Pescadores ("fishermen's islands"). Pronunciation: /ˌpɛskəˈdɔːɹɪs/, /ˌpɛskəˈdɔːɹiːz/ 1. An archipelago in the Taiwan Strait; synonymous with Penghu County, Taiwan (ROC). Example: Standing from the shore, with topsails and courses close reefed, M. de Peyrouse hoped, that he might double the PESCADORE ISLES, by keeping the ship's head to the N. W., before a N. N. E. wind. To his astonishment, at nine o'clock in the morning, several rocks, making a part of that groupe of isles, were seen before them, in the bearing of N. N. W. The billows rolled so high, and so tempestuous, that the breakers from these rocks were not to be distinguished from them. They now tacked and stood towards Formosa. In this continuation of their course, they found the channel, between Formosa and the isles N. E. of the Pescadores, not to exceed four leagues in breadth. Perceiving it, at length, to be impossible, that they should succeed in accomplishing their course through this channel, before the change of the monsoon ; they were induced to direct their progress towards the most southern of the Pescadores, bearing W. S. W. with the purpose of passing to the Eastward of Formosa. They sailed along, parallel to the Pescadores, at two leagues of distance from them. Example: The Dutch met with little success in their attempts to open a trade with China until 1624, when, by means of assistance from Batavia, they were enabled to form a settlement on the west side of Formosa, opposite to the Chinese coast. The vicinity of this to Manilla and Macao excited the jealousy of the Spaniards and Portuguese, as well as of the Chinese government. Liberty of trade with that empire was at first denied them; but the Dutch annoyed the coast with their ships, until it was agreed that, on their evacuating the Pescadores, some small islands between the mainland and Formosa, and confining themselves to the latter, liberty of commerce should be granted them.

Example: Several groups of tiny islands in the South China Sea—including the Dongsha (Pratas) and Sisha (Paracels) groups—have been placed under Guangdong's provincial jurisdiction, but are the subject of claims by other countries.

An island and an atoll in the South China Sea administered as part of Cijin (Qijin), Kaohsiung, Republic of China (Taiwan). Example: Captain King began now to entertain apprehenſions, leſt, in the proſecution of our ſearch for thoſe iſlands, we ſhould get ſo far to the ſouth as to be under the neceſſity of paſſing to leeward of the Pratas ; in which caſe, it might have proved extremely difficult for ſuch bad ſailing veſſels as our to fetch Macao, eſpecially if the wind ſhould continue to blow (as it now did) from the north-north-eaſt and north. . . . On the approach of day-light, we had ſight of the iſland of Prata ; and, between the hours of ſix and ſeven, we ſtood towards the ſhoal, but finding ourſelves unable to weather it, we bore away, and ran to leeward. . . . The iſland of Prata was now three or four leagues diſtant, bearing north three quarters eaſt. Near the southern extremity of the iſland, and on the ſouth-weſtern ſide of the reef, we imagined that we ſaw, from the maſt-head, ſeveral openings in the reef, which ſeemed to promiſe ſecure anchorage. The extent of the Prata ſhoal is conſiderable ; for it is about ſix leagues from north to ſouth, and extends three or four leagues to the eaſt of the iſland : its limits to the weſtward we had not an opportunity of aſcertaining. Example: Pratas Island was found to bear from Pedro Branco S. 42¾°E. distant 130½ miles, and from the North end of the Great Lema S. 59°E. distant 157 miles.
