Christmas Island

William Mynors was an English sea-captain, master of the East India Company (EIC) vessel Royal Mary. His voyage in 1643 discovered Christmas Island (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) 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.
