William Dampier: 1679-1707
Dampier and his shipmate William Funnell parted ways, each taking his own ship, during the voyage. Funnell wrote his own account of the voyage and of his own route.	Iguana from William Funnell's A Voyage Round the World. Containing an Account of Captain Dampier's Expedition … in the Years 1703 and 1704. London: W. Botham for J. Knapton, 1707.
This iguana was seen between Honduras and Panama. It "is a sort of creature ... about three foot long ... a very ugly creature to look at." Dampier also visited the Galapagos and no doubt observed iguanas there. Compare this fanciful illustration with the lifelike portrait of one seen on Darwin's voyage to those islands.
