Extractions: Corte-Real voyages, was the first to depict any part of Canada. In the north central part of the chart is the southern tip of Greenland and the east coast of Newfoundland. A different outline of this area appeared a few years later with the La Cosa (1500-08), Contarini (1506) and Ruysch (1507) world maps, based on the hypothesis that Greenland and Newfoundland were joined, all part of a vast northeastern extension of Asia. The Ruysch map shows the earliest surviving place name in Canada: "In. Baccalauras" is now Baccalieu Island off Breakheart Point, between Trinity and Conception Bays. Universalis Cosmographis Subsequent voyages by Verrazano (1524) and Gomes (1525) coasted from Florida to Newfoundland. Although they could not find a through-passage, they produced rough charts of the coast. The best of these were Spanish charts by Ribeiro (1529) and Santa Cruz (1541). All of these charts show Cabot Strait as a bay, and some, such as those by Santa Cruz, depict Nova Scotia as an island. Cartier Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae Descriptio ad usum Navigantium , by Gerard Mercator, 1569 Few printed maps of the period deserve consideration. The exception is the famous world chart by Gerard Mercator (1569). It introduced the Mercator map projection on which a straight line is a line of constant compass bearing. As such it became indispensible to navigators and consequently much copied. Practically all the maps showing Canada, to the end of the 16th century, were based on Mercator's map.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History The first attempt by Europeans to colonize the New World occurred around a.d. 1000, when the Vikings sailed from the British Isles to Greenland, established a colony, and then moved on to Labrador, the Baffin Islands, and finally Newfoundland. There they established a colony named Vineland (meaning fertile region) and from that base sailed along the coast of North America, observing the flora, fauna, and native peoples. Inexplicably, after a few years Vineland was abandoned. Although the Vikings never returned to America, their accomplishments became known to other Europeans. Europe, however, was made up of many small principalities whose concerns were mainly local. Europeans may have been intrigued by the stories of the feared Vikings' discovery of a "new world," but they lacked the resources or the will to follow their path of exploration. Trade continued to revolve around the Mediterranean Sea, as it had for hundreds of years. But between 1000 and 1650 a series of interconnected developments occurred in Europe that provided the impetus for the exploration and subsequent colonization of America. These developments included the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Counter-Reformation, the Renaissance, the unification of small states into larger ones with centralized political power, the emergence of new technology in navigation and shipbuilding, and the establishment of overland trade with the East and the accompanying transformation of the medieval economy.

Martin Frobisher Personal Backgrond Passage to the new world Second Voyage Later Life Bibliography. martin frobisher was an English navigator and explorer. http://www.east-buc.k12.ia.us/00_01/Exp/mf/mf.htm
Extractions: Martin Frobisher was an English navigator and explorer. He was one of the first English to search for the Northwest passage to India and Asia. Today, he is considered to be one of the greatest seamen of the age of Queen Elizabeth I. He was very courageous and resourceful; sometimes he was also so strict that captains of ships were sometimes unwilling to work with him. In 1535, Martin Frobisher was born in Altofts, Yorkshire. His father died when he was young. After that, his mother sent him to live with his uncle who was a merchant in London. He spent a lot of his childhood working as a trader for him. School was never very important to him; he spent most of his life barely literate. As a kid he was considered violent and undisciplined, but very ambitious. So, he started privateering as a teen and gave up trading. The trip went badly from the start. The smallest ship collided with another and they were delayed until repairs were made. Later, a storm came up and one of the ships disappeared. When they reached Greenland, one of the ships turned back. Another hardship was the cold, ice, and freezing winds. Still, Frobisher went on and discovered a bay on Baffin Island. He named it Frobisher Bay after himself. He continued onward, thinking that this was the entrance to the Northwest passage.

Extractions: D uring the late medieval period, the Mediterranean Sea was dominated by several powers: Venice and Genoa in Italy, the Islamic powers of Turkey and Egypt and to a lesser degree by such powers as the Knights of Rhodes. Trade in materials, spices, foods, slaves, etc. was commonplace. Endemic too were piracy and warfare between theso-called Christian powers and those of Islam. On the Islamic side too we ought to note that overland caravans from the far East travelled regularly across central Asia into the Levant, bringing such rarities as silk and teas and spices, then sold to Venetians for export to Europe at profit. The maritime powers on the Atlantic were all too aware of the dominant position thatthe Italian middlemen played in selling such goods to Latin Christendom. In an attemptto find a new route to Asia and its material wealth, the sturdy Portuguese had for over half a century sailed down the west coast of Africa, discovering in the process gold, pepper, ivory and other natural resources as well as a staggering array of different peoples, animals and plants. Thanks to Bartholomeu Diaz and Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese finally rounded the treacherous waters of the Cape of Good Hope and sailed into the Indian Ocean, ultimately reaching India, China and Japan. Since the Portuguese colonized, fortified, mapped and organized their profitable trade routes in that direction, the Spanish and other Atlantic Ocean European powers had little choice but to look westward. Already by 1500, some Portuguese had landed in what we now call Brazil for stopovers on their long African voyages.

Extractions: Learning basic map locations by copying names of strange places onto a blank map from an atlas is not terribly meaningful. A better approach is to learn something about these places, then locate them on the map. Also, place the dates on a time line to see how Arctic exploration occurred over several years. Begin by thinking about why people bothered to explore the coldest place on earth. Adventure and challenge were reasons for some, but most were motivated by economic gain. The New World held promise for money from whaling and the fur trade. This potential motivated nations to fund expeditions into early North America. On a map, identify general areas of European conquest . The Spanish focused on the southern U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and South America. The French centered on the shores of Canada where the provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia exist today. The English squeezed onto the coastline of the eastern United States and the far north. Draw lines on a map from European countries to illustrate regions of North America that were focused on by early Europeans. In the High Arctic, (the Arctic islands north of the main Canadian coastline), Europeans believed there was a Northwest Passage across North America to the Pacific and Orient. The search for this passage, however, was hindered by treacherous ice that crushed sailing ships, stranded sailors, and left them lost in an unknown land, poorly equipped with little knowledge and few skills essential for survival. Early sailors perished because of an ignorance about the severity of the cold climate, and expeditions were improperly equipped to spend any length of time in the Arctic.

Extractions: Early Exploration Introduction In the beginning, North America and Canada did not exist... at least in the minds of Europeans. They knew of Cathay and of the rich trade possibilities there, but the ocean to the west was a barrier which seemed too vast to cross. When overland trade routes became blocked and the voyage around Africa was found to be long and dangerous, the European nations began to look westward for a shorter journey. Little did they know that they would discover a whole new world complete with its own unique peoples and riches. This section deals with the discovery and early explorations of Canada and the attempts by both the English and French to settle in and lay claim to the New World. It deals with the first encounters with the Native People and the fragile relationships which developed between the Natives and Europeans, and even among the Europeans themselves. It deals with the development of the fur trade which would effectively change Canada's history forever.
