John Davis did not find the Northwest Passage; rather, he is known for his attempts to navigate it in the late 16th century. He made three voyages to the Arctic between 1585 and 1587, exploring portions of what is now Canada and searching for a passage through the northern waters. Although he did not succeed in finding a direct route, his explorations contributed to the knowledge of the Arctic region. The Northwest Passage was ultimately navigated successfully by others in later centuries.
