William Mynors

William Mynors was an English sea-captain, master of the East India Company (EIC) vessel Royal Mary. His voyage in 1643 discovered Christmas Island (10°30′S 105°40′E) on Christmas Day of that year when he sailed past it.[1] Besides this, little is known of Mynors.[2]

Royal Mary served the EIC from 1626 to 1639,[3] and apparently longer.

gollark: Make sure that the first function yields enough.
gollark: It... shouldn't.

It's really rather awful.
