William Dampier (born August 1651 in East Coker, Somerset, England; died March 1715 in London, England)[1] was an English buccaneer, sea captain, author and scientific observer. He was the first Englishman to explore or map parts of New Holland (Australia) and New Guinea and was the first person to circumnavigate the world three times.
