About the author

William Dampier

William Dampier

1651–1715

A sailor, explorer, and sharp-eyed observer of the natural world, this seventeenth-century adventurer turned hard travel into bestselling books. His journeys carried him across the Pacific, around the world, and onto the coast of Australia, where his writing helped shape how readers in Europe imagined distant places.
