englishman to explore parts of new holland (australia) and new guinea. he's believed to have been the first englishman to step on the australian mainland. \n \n \"william dampier combined a swashbuckling life of adventure with pioneering scientific achievements. in 1676, he started his career as a buccaneer preying on ships on the spanish main and struggling through the impenetrable jungle of the isthmus of panama in search of gold. he could easily have ended up on the gallows. poor and obscure yet determined to sail the world to make his fortune, he was to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe three times. among his many extraordinary achievements, dampier mapped the winds and the currents of the world\u2019s oceans for the first time. he inspired darwin one hundred and fifty years later with his notes on the wildlife of the galapagos islands and elsewhere. his portrait in london\u2019s national portrait gallery shows a lean, strong-featured man with a thoughtful expression, brown shoulder-length hair and a plain coat, holding a book in his hand. he is styled \u2018pirate and hydrographer\u2019 but even that tells only part of his story. he was a
