	European Explorers: Martin Frobisher
		Frobisher went on voyages to the Guinea coast of Africa in 1553 and 1554, and during the 1560s he preyed on French shipping in the English Channel under a privateering license from the English crown; he was arrested several times on charges of piracy but never brought to trial.
		In 1576 the notorious Elizabethan privateer Martin Frobisher, vowing "to make a sacrifice unto God of his life rather than return home without the discovery of Cathay," ventured forth from his native England in command of a three-ship flotilla of brave -- and misinformed -- mariners on a quest to discover the elusive Northwest Passage.
		Frobisher was one of the first English explorers to find and navigate the Northwest Passage that led to the Orient.
