Ralph Fitch (ca 1550 - 1611) was a gentleman merchant of London and one of the earliest English travellers and traders to visit Mesopotamia, the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, India and Southeast Asia. At first he was no chronicler but did eventually write descriptions of the south east Asia he saw in 1583-1591, and upon his return to England in 1591, became a valuable consultant for the British East India Company
