- Summary
- In 1703 Selkirk, a Scottish privateer, joined an expedition, captained by William dampier, to plunder French and Spanish ships off the coast of South America. Conditions on board were appalling; there was scurvy and dysentery and an acute shortage of food and fresh water. Many of the crew died or mutinied.
