 | | Records of three of four voyages indicate that on "January 25, 1592, he sailed in command of four vessels; July 28, 1592, [he] contracted with Sir John Boroughs, and September 7, 1592, brought the celebrated Spanish 'Caract,' the Madre de Dios, into Dartmouth Harbor." Another voyage was scantily recorded as being made in 1604-05. |
 | | Sailing from Plymouth on June 2, 1609, in company with Sir George Somers, in the Sea Venture, a violent storm separated them from the rest of the supply, and shipwrecked them on what is now the island of Bermuda. |
 | | His second voyage was made in Lion, when he accompanied "Sir Thomas Roe, Embassador from the King of England (James I.) to the Great Mogoll of India (Shah Jehan)," from January 24, 1615, to about September 1616. |
