Why did Cabot go to England to get support for exploring?
When Cabot reached the New World, he spent a month exploring the coast. What things would he have been looking for?
What things could have happened to Cabot's four ships that never returned from the exploration trip to the New World?
Early explorers had little real information to guide them. How would this affect their journey?
Why would piracy against French merchants be encouraged by the English?
Instead of attacking just French ships, Frobisher sometimes attacked English vessels as well. Why would the crown overlook his crimes?
What action convinced Frobisher that he could not get rich as a simple sailor?
Why would the Inuit dislike having the explorers come to their coasts?
Explain why Davis's contributions to exploration were considered more valuable than Frobisher's.
Why were so many explorers concerned with finding a water route to China?
Davis kept extensive journals on everything he saw on his three voyages to the Canadian arctic. How would these be useful to later explorers?
Up until the mid 1800's, people in Europe often lived in or near the place where they were born. Why was this?
Why was it so important for Hudson to find a route to China?
Why would the penalty for mutiny be so harsh?
Why do you think Hudson was not anxious to go home after spending the winter in the arctic?
Like Hudson, many other English explorers explored the cold arctic seas. Why do you think they did that?
