Arctic argonauts

Walter Andrew Kenyon

Chronicles the search for the Northwest Passage from 1576 to 1632. Begins with the earliest explorers: Frobisher, Davis, Weymouth, Knight, Hudson, Button, Gibbons, Bylot, Baffin, Hawkridge, Munk, Foxe, and James, and provides information about non-exploration matters, such as architecture, diet, clothing, wages and navigation.
