to travel from the a ocean to the p ocean
why did european explorers seek a northwest passage
Principally in the 17th and 18th centuries, European (and, increasingly, American, among many other) explorers did indeed seek out the famous "Northwest Passage" said to connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. The motivation was economic at root: explorers sought a shorter alternative to the much longer trade routes between western markets and Asia.

Because the any other connection of Europe and America costs them many shipwrecks and consequently was very expensive.
John Cabot was an Italian explorer who was the first to land in North America since the Vikings. He was also the first to seek the Northwest Passage through the Arctic.

European explorers were motivated by various factors including the desire for wealth, fame, curiosity about the unknown, religious zeal to spread Christianity, and the search for new trade routes to the East. Many were also driven by a sense of adventure and the hope of discovering new lands, resources, and peoples. Additionally, competition among European nations played a significant role in encouraging explorers to seek out new territories.
The conditions we endured on the ocean passage actually killed several of our company. We only seek safe passage.
