Who was leading explorer between the period Dampier's and Sir Francis Drake?

  • Sir Walter Raleigh

  • Christopher Columbus

  • Marco Polo

  • No one

Answer

The answer is no one, as there were no notable explorers between the periods of William Dampier and Sir Francis Drake. Dampier was an English explorer and buccaneer who lived in the 17th century, while Drake was an English sea captain and explorer who lived in the 16th century. There was a significant gap in time between their expeditions, during which no other explorers of comparable fame or impact emerged.
