William Baffin - Expanding in All Directions - 17th Century - Pathfinders and Passageways
During his voyage on the Discovery, commanded by Robert Bylot, Baffin deduced the first longitude calculated at sea by observing the occultation of a star by the moon. He made an intensive study of the south shore of Baffin Island in Hudson Strait and of the western end of Southampton Island, paying special attention to the tides. This search for the Northwest Passage ended when he entered the ice-choked Foxe Basin. [eng] |

Hall of Fame: William Baffin ( - 1622)
navigator and discoverer, was most probably a native of London, but nothing is known of his early life. The earliest mention of him is in 1612, as pilot of the Patience, fitted out at Hull by James Hall, for a voyage of discovery to Greenland.

Баффин Уильям
На борту «Дискавери» с капитаном Робертом Байлотом (1615) Баффин исследовал Гудзонов пролив, который отделяет Канаду от острова Баффина (теперь часть северо-западных территорий Канады). В 1616 году он возвратился туда как штурман «Дискавери» и исследовал залив приблизительно на 300 миль (483 километров) дальше, чем английский навигатор Джон Дейвис в 1587 году. [rus] |
