Sir Humphrey Gilbert's Voyage To Newfoundland

by Edward Hayes

Book Overview

""Sir Humphrey Gilbert's Voyage to Newfoundland"" is a historical account of the English explorer's journey to the North American continent in 1583. Written by Edward Hayes, the book documents Gilbert's efforts to establish a colony in Newfoundland, his encounters with the local Indigenous people, and the challenges he faced in navigating the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic. The book provides a vivid portrayal of life at sea during the Elizabethan era and sheds light on the early English attempts to colonize North America. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the exploration and colonization of the New World.The course first to be taken for the discovery is to bear directly to Cape Race, the most southerly cape of Newfoundland; and there to harbour ourselves either in Rogneux or Fermous, being the first places appointed for our rendezvous, and the next harbours unto the northward of Cape Race: and therefore every ship separated from the fleet to repair to that place so fast as God shall permit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
