Born 1660; died 1742. This many-sided character was educated at Caius College, Cambridge, wherehe took the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. Many years afterwards, in1721, the Royal College of Physicians made him a licentiate. For manyyears Dover practised as a physician at Bristol, until the year 1708, whenhe sailed from Bristol as "second captain" to Captain Woodes Rogers, withthe _Duke_ and the _Duchess_, two privateer ships fitted out for a SouthSea cruise by some Bristol merchants. Dover had... no knowledge whatever ofnavigation, but, having a considerable share in the adventure, he insistedon being given a command. Sailing round the Horn, the two ships arrived, on the night of February 1st, 1709, off the Island of Juan Fernandez, where they observed a light. Next morning Dover went ashore in a boat, tofind and rescue the solitary inhabitant of the island, Alexander Selkirk, the original of Robinson Crusoe. Sailing north, a Spanish ship was takenand rechristened the _Bachelor_, and Dover was put in command of her.
