Additional Details

"This is the first detailed map that summarizes the discoveries of Frobisher and Davis. It notes 'A furious over fall' which is the first indication of Hudson Strait a decade before its discovery. The description of this maelstrom may well have influenced Hudson's subsequent decision to seek the Northwest Passage at this location"--Kershaw I:40. Burden 101.
