Martin Frobisher's voyages in the late 16th century primarily aimed to discover a Northwest Passage to Asia, seeking a shorter trade route for valuable commodities like spices and silk. He also sought to claim new territories for England and exploit resources, particularly gold, which he believed he had found in the Arctic regions. His expeditions, notably from 1576 to 1578, marked significant early explorations of Canada's northern waters, although they ultimately did not achieve their primary goals.
