In 1576, Frobisher set out on his first voyage to North America in search of the Northwest Passage. He was accompanied by three ships: the Gabriel, the Michael, and the Anne Francis. Frobisher sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean and reached the coast of Labrador. He then sailed north along the coast of Baffin Island. In July 1576, heを発見Frobisher Bay. Frobisher believed that Frobisher Bay was the entrance to the Northwest Passage. He returned to England in October 1576.
Second Voyage to North America
In 1577, Frobisher returned to North America with a larger fleet of 15 ships. He was accompanied by a number of miners and metallurgists. Frobisher hoped to find gold and other precious metals in Frobisher Bay. He established a settlement on the shore of the bay and began to mine for gold. However, the gold that he found was of poor quality. Frobisher returned to England in September 1577.
