Publisher's Synopsis
""Sir Humphrey Gilbert's Voyage To Newfoundland"" is a historical account of the English explorer's journey to Newfoundland in the late 16th century. The book is written by Edward Hayes, who was a member of Gilbert's expedition. It provides a detailed description of the voyage, including the challenges faced by the crew, the interactions with the indigenous people of Newfoundland, and the eventual establishment of a colony on the island. The book also includes Gilbert's own writings and letters, offering insight into his motivations and ambitions for the expedition. Overall, ""Sir Humphrey Gilbert's Voyage To Newfoundland"" is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of English exploration and colonization in North America.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.
