Gentlemen Adventurers Seek Glory in Early North American Ventures
History highlights describe Drake reviving England’s interest in America and exploration resuming with the gentlemen adventurers. Martin Frobisher led voyages in 1576 to Labrador seeking a northwest passage, discovering Frobisher Bay and Metangognita, mistaking ice for gold and prompting later expeditions. Severe Arctic cold forced abandonment after 1577 1578.
