William Dampier fue un copioso proveedor de narraciones etnobotánicas que alimentaron la imaginación inglesa en Europa durante el siglo XVIII. Con un pasado obscuro como navegante mercenario, entre 1675 y 1678, Dampier visitó América Central con un especial foco en las bahías de Campeche y Honduras. A su paso, describió todo aquello de interés que a su juicio pudiera haber en el paisaje. Aunque minuciosa e ilustrada con mapas, su narración y los consecuentes dibujos que la acompañaron, estuvieron plagados de silencios relacionados con la población maya que habitaba la costa de la península de Yucatán

William Dampier

In 1675, William Dampier set sail from Jamaica for the Bay of Campeche on Mexico's Yucatán coast to trade for logwood. Dampier, who would later become famous as a naturalist, a buccaneer, and one of the foremost chroniclers of the Golden Age of English buccaneering, recorded his experiences over the course of a year spent in English logwood communities near this Spanish settlement. The author's account gives a fascinating portrayal of a society beyond the margins of imperial control. In Laguna de Términos, an inlet just west of the town of Campeche (in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula), English sailors cut logwood, a popular dyestuff used in Europe for red, purple, and black clothing dyes and ink, that grew throughout the swampy tropical lowlands of the area. They traded their harvest with merchants who would ship it to ports as far away as Boston, London, and Amsterdam. Seeking an independent life separate from the arbitrary power of shipboard hierarchy, the loggers lived communally. They worked, hunted, and drank on their own schedule.
