Extractions: Corte-Real voyages, was the first to depict any part of Canada. In the north central part of the chart is the southern tip of Greenland and the east coast of Newfoundland. A different outline of this area appeared a few years later with the La Cosa (1500-08), Contarini (1506) and Ruysch (1507) world maps, based on the hypothesis that Greenland and Newfoundland were joined, all part of a vast northeastern extension of Asia. The Ruysch map shows the earliest surviving place name in Canada: "In. Baccalauras" is now Baccalieu Island off Breakheart Point, between Trinity and Conception Bays. Universalis Cosmographis Subsequent voyages by Verrazano (1524) and Gomes (1525) coasted from Florida to Newfoundland. Although they could not find a through-passage, they produced rough charts of the coast. The best of these were Spanish charts by Ribeiro (1529) and Santa Cruz (1541). All of these charts show Cabot Strait as a bay, and some, such as those by Santa Cruz, depict Nova Scotia as an island. Cartier Nova et Aucta Orbis Terrae Descriptio ad usum Navigantium , by Gerard Mercator, 1569 Few printed maps of the period deserve consideration. The exception is the famous world chart by Gerard Mercator (1569). It introduced the Mercator map projection on which a straight line is a line of constant compass bearing. As such it became indispensible to navigators and consequently much copied. Practically all the maps showing Canada, to the end of the 16th century, were based on Mercator's map.
Extractions: When John Cabot ventured into the North Atlantic in the Matthew in 1497, his goal had nothing to do with fish, even though his discovery of the waters of riches was unquestionably the most dramatic result of that voyage. Cabot (like Columbus before him) hoped to prove that a direct sea route existed between Europe and Asia. He did not know that a continental landmass entirely unknown to Europeans blocked his way. As Europeans became aware that a "New World" existed across the Atlantic, many found ways to profit by the discovery through the fishery or by the fur trade. Others, however, remained determined to find a sea route to Asia. This belief led to the search for the fabled Northwest Passage, a search that persisted for centuries. Such a search was only possible because several factors came together in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. These factors included the development of sturdy new ships that were capable of long-distance oceanic voyages, and the willingness and ability of merchants to risk some of their capital against the new commercial opportunities that a sea route to Asia would provide. Also, there was a growing confidence among mariners that they would survive oceanic voyages, thanks in part to the development of new navigational instruments and the accumulation of oceanic experience. Each exploration added to that experience and knowledge. Thus, the earliest voyages of Cabot, Corte Real , and others established for Europeans the existence of North America, while those of the next generation, such as Giovanni da Verrazano and

Extractions: Learning basic map locations by copying names of strange places onto a blank map from an atlas is not terribly meaningful. A better approach is to learn something about these places, then locate them on the map. Also, place the dates on a time line to see how Arctic exploration occurred over several years. Begin by thinking about why people bothered to explore the coldest place on earth. Adventure and challenge were reasons for some, but most were motivated by economic gain. The New World held promise for money from whaling and the fur trade. This potential motivated nations to fund expeditions into early North America. On a map, identify general areas of European conquest . The Spanish focused on the southern U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and South America. The French centered on the shores of Canada where the provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia exist today. The English squeezed onto the coastline of the eastern United States and the far north. Draw lines on a map from European countries to illustrate regions of North America that were focused on by early Europeans. In the High Arctic, (the Arctic islands north of the main Canadian coastline), Europeans believed there was a Northwest Passage across North America to the Pacific and Orient. The search for this passage, however, was hindered by treacherous ice that crushed sailing ships, stranded sailors, and left them lost in an unknown land, poorly equipped with little knowledge and few skills essential for survival. Early sailors perished because of an ignorance about the severity of the cold climate, and expeditions were improperly equipped to spend any length of time in the Arctic.
Extractions: The chine colle etching, Martin Frobisher's foolsgold was inspired by a forboding Artic landscape and the fascinating tale of the English explorer Martin Frobisher, who, while searching for the Northwest Passage in 1576, created a frenzy for gold exploration and false investment in the new land. The artist's adept brushwork captures the mystique of the northern landscape depicts his intrigue with the history of the Arctic exploration. Toni Onley, the flying artist, is one of the most highly respected landscape artists working in Canada today. He is a modern day explorer with an insatiable curiosity to travel to all reaches of the world in search of line, shape and colour. While he is best known for his watercolours and prints, it is his unmistakable style and succinct vision that sets him apart from other artists. Toni Onley was born in 1928 on the Isle of Man, off the west coast of Britain in the Irish Sea. The Isle of Man was a perfect setting for a perceptive youngster to explore the landscape. While loving to draw and paint from every early age, he credits the influence of his grandmother for instilling in him a love of the afternoons through glens and mountains, along coastal trails, she with her book of verse and me with my box of watercolours. We would rest on the brow of a hill, I would paint and she read to me Wordsworth or Keats and thus began a life long quest for the young artist. Following grade school at the age of 14, he enrolled in the Douglas School of Art and began a formal education which included an introduction to drawing, watercolour painting and etching. Difficult financial times following the Second World War forced the Onley family to emigrate to Canada in 1948 and, after a brief stay in southern Ontario, they settled in Penticton, British Columbia.

Extractions: A SEARCH FOR THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE QUICKLY TURNED INTO A GOLD HUNT, AND A SCANDAL TO RIVAL BRE-X By Peggy Berkowitz If they remember him at all from high school history class, many Canadians will know Martin Frobisher as an early English explorer, one of the first of many who sought a Northwest Passage to Asia through the frozen Arctic. But thanks to new historical and archeological research from opposite sides of the Atlantic, Frobisher may soon become more widely known for other audacious exploits in the Arctic. He may become famous as the man who inspired the first Bre-X-type scandal on Canadian soil, with a piece of worthless black rock brought back from his first trip to the Arctic. Through incompetence, fraud or more likely both, the rock tested falsely as gold-bearing ore, and launched the first "Canadian" gold rush - and gold bust. Or he may be admired as the leader of the biggest peacetime sea voyage to the Canadian Arctic. His third trip in 1578, with a fleet of 15 ships and more than 400 seamen, tradesmen and miners, remains the largest Arctic sea expedition ever in the Canadian Arctic, with the exception of naval operations during World War II. Finally, Martin Frobisher may become better known as the explorer who, under orders from Queen Elizabeth I, intended to establish an English colony of 100 men near Frobisher Bay four centuries ago. Although the loss of a supply ship put an end to that ill-conceived plan, he and his mining expedition left the oldest English archeological remains in North America - pre-dating England's Jamestown settlement in Virginia by a generation.

Extractions: As King Philip and Spain grew rich from their conquests and empire building in Central and South America, England looked westward for an opportunity to share in the spoils of the new world, or gain access to the Far East and the valuable silk and spice trade which it offered. Many stories and rumours concerning a great north west passage through the America's were constantly talked about in the seaports and naval circles of England's sailing community. Martin Frobisher was a sailor with a dream to try and discover this mysterious passage to the orient. He and his fellow sea captains of the time have plundered and pillaged the Spanish ships and colonies of the America's but dream of a safer manner in which to make their fortune. He had served a term in the tower for his pirate activities and felt that a great voyage of discovery might redeem his reputation and position among the English peoples. He set sail in the spring of 1576 across the Atlantic and fought the storms and Icebergs of the North Atlantic. He managed to penetrate the Artic frontier of North East Canada and believed that he had found the route to the Orient. His first contact with the Inuit peoples was a strange and bizarre interlude. They paddle out to meet him in their kayaks and Frobisher send 5 of his men ashore with them to find out what they can. They disappear and are not seen again. Frobisher decided to capture an Inuit in order to provide evidence of his contact with these new people and as revenge for the abduction and potential murder of his seamen.
