He was a British explorer who sailed to North America in 1576. He was hoping to find the "Northwest Passage" to the Orient, which would make it easier for trade and commerce via ocean vessels. He landed in Northeastern Canada (Labrador, Baffin Bay) and although he did not find the Passage, he did find what he believed to be sources of gold and other precious metals, and he returned to the area several times.
