Voyages and works of... edited with an introduction and notes, by Albert Hastings Markham.
John Davis (c. 1550-1605) is described in the introduction as a 'daring' and 'scientific' navigator and 'skilful pilot'. Davis is famous for the three voyages he made into the Arctic Sea to locate the Northwest Passage. Despite being unsuccessful, the fact that Davis returned safely with most of the crew still alive was nothing short of a miracle for the time.
