    John Davis

    John Davis (also spelled Davys), explorer, navigator (born c. 1550 near Dartmouth, England; died 27 December 1605 off Bintan Island, near Singapore). Davis made it his life's work to become the first European to find and travel the Northwest Passage, launching three failed expeditions between 1585 and 1587. During these endeavours, Davis reached Greenland, which had largely been forgotten by Europeans since the 13th century. Davis explored the strait named for him and the east coast of present-day Baffin Island. He was later credited as the first European to sight the Falkland Islands, as they are now called. He contributed to European knowledge of the Arctic and its inhabitants, and invented the backstaff navigational instrument.
