[edit] Summary
This map is from "A New Voyage Round the World", published in 1697 by William Dampier, the English sea captain, naturalist, and occasional pirate.
The Miskito coast is marked with a star. Dampier and his associate, the surgeon Lionel Wafer describe the Miskito peoples in the period 1690-1700. These tribal groups, often mixed with runaway slaves, formed a distinct culture in the coastal region, sometimes forming alliances with pirates against Spanish authorities in the 16th-18th centuries.
