Thomas Cavendish (circa 1560-c. 1592), English navigator and buccaneer, the third circumnavigator of the globe. Cavendish sought to retrace the exploits (1557-80) of the English navigator Sir Francis Drake. Setting out in 1586, he founded Port Desire (now Puerto Deseado, Argentina), sailed through the Straits of Magellan, and plundered Spanish settlements and ships as far north as California. The voyage was completed in 2 years, 50 days. Cavendish died while attempting a second circumnavigation.
