Voyages for a Northern Passage From Early Britain and Dutch
A historical survey recounts 16th and 17th century Arctic efforts by Britain and the Netherlands to discover a northeast or northwest passage to Asia. It covers Willoughby Chancellor and Cabot’s 1559 expedition, Barents and Hudson efforts, Dutch voyages of 1593 to 1597, Norse and Russian interactions, icebound ships, and the eventual opening of northern trade with Archangel and Nova Zembia.
