William Lynch
Definition
- William Francis Lynch was an officer of the U.S. Navy who, in 1848, led the first successful expedition to explore and map the Dead Sea and established, for the first time, the depth of its surface below sea level. Curiosity about the Dead Sea can be traced back to our earliest written sources for the region. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Lynch, William (1806–1865)]
