Product Description
William Dampier is one of England's forgotten heroes. In 1676, he started his career as a poor buccaneer, preying on ships on the Spanish Main. He could easily have ended up on the gallows for piracy. Instead, his sense of adventure and curiosity about the world around him led him to become the first person to circumnavigate the world three times, and to map the winds and the currents of the world's oceans.
