Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Detail William Dampier memorial - East Coker church, near to East Coker, Somerset, Great Britain.

The memorial reads:
"To the Memory of
WILLIAM DAMPIER
Buccaneer Explorer Hydrographer
and sometime Captain of the Ship Roebuck
in the Royal Navy of King William the Third.
Thrice he circumnavigated the Globe
and first of all Englishmen
explored and described the coast of Australia
An exact observer
of all things in Earth, Sea and Air
he recorded the knowledge won by years of
danger and hardship in Books of Voyages
and a Discourse of Winds, Tides and Currents
which Nelson bade his midshipmen to study
and Humboldt praised for Scientific worth.
Born at East Coker in 1651
he died in London in 1715
and lies buried in an unknown grave.

"The World is apt to judge of everything by the
Success and whoso has ill Fortune
will hardly be allowed a good name"
