Disambiguation[edit]
I'm not sure (explorer) is an appropriate disambiguation term for Benbow. He wasn't an explorer under the accepted definition of one, either by chance or by design. He was shipwrecked, captured, escaped, made his way to a European settlement and was taken home. He didn't really do any exploring during this time. He wrote about his experiences and that was about it. His notability rests upon, and he's best described as, a castaway and a writer of a memoir. Benea (talk) 15:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
