In the ships Duke and Duchess, he led a circumnavigation of the globe between 1708 and 1711. His pilot on this trip was William Dampier. In February of 1709, he picked up Alexander Selkirk from Juan Fernández Island where he had been marooned for five years. The voyage was instrumental in the foundation of the South Sea Company. In 1717 Rogers was appointed first royal governor of the Bahamas after which time he helped to suppress piracy.Volume six contains an account of voyages around the world. This section relates to Woodes Rogers' voyage beginning in 1708.
