It is proposed to make some comment upon the voyage of Capt. George Waymouth, made in the spring and summer of 1605—showing the whereabouts of his discoveries, with some observations respecting the Patent of Henry 4th, of France to Sieur de Mont. 1 Capt. Waymouth was a distinguished naval officer, who had been engaged some years prior to this time, in the search of a north west passage 1 to the Indies. On his return from the Arctic regions in 1603, he was engaged to undertake another voyage, ostensibly, for the same purpose, really for the discovery of some suitable place for the establishment of a colony, and the furtherance of the trade and commerce of the country. Such was the jealousy existing among some of the maritime nations of Europe, that these enterprises for the discovery of new places for trade and commerce, were managed with the most profound secrecy. As in his former voyage, so in this, he was solemnly bound to reveal nothing of his intentions or discoveries, excepting to those engaged in the enterprise. The same was enjoined on all who went with him. 1 Collections of Hakluyt Society by Wm. Strachey. |
