NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
1585—Joun Davis, with two of the 
most famous ships that ever cleared 
for the Northwest Passage, the 
Moonshine, 35 tons, and the Sun- 
shine, 50 tons, discovered the strait 
that bears his name. He reached 
Cape Dyer, explored Cumberland 
Sound nearly to its head and re- 
turned the same year, after reaching 
lat. 66°, 40’ N. 
In 1586, Davis, in the J/oonshine, 
with several other vessels, passed 
through Davis Strait, and after 
reaching lat 67° N. followed the 
west coast south to Labrador, but 
missed the entrance to Hudson 
Strait. He returned home, having 
lost one ship, the orth Star, in a 
storm. 
In 1588, Davis, the untiring and 
venturesome explorer, with the 
Sunshine, the Elizabeth and the 
Ellen, cleared once more for the 
Northwest Passage, and laid his 
course along the west coast of 
Greenland. He discovered Sander- 
son’s Hope, a promontory 3,500 
feet high, at present a well-known 
landmark to the whaler and the 
explorer. He then steered his tiny 
craft westward through the ‘middle 
water,” an effort seldom attempted 
by -modern vessels built for ice 
navigation, and seldom attended 
without disaster. He reached the 
west side in safety, in the vicinity 
of Mount Raleigh, lat. 72°, 12’ N. 
He did not force the Northwest 
Passage, as his ability and courage 
so richly merited, but his results 
were of marked commercial and 
scientific importance. To him, more 
than to any other navigator, has 
the whaling fishery in these waters 
been indebted. British commerce, 
though ‘strangely ungrateful, has 
profited to an unknown extent.
