Summary
Anno 1607, Aprill the nineteenth, at Saint Ethelburge, in Bishops Gate street, did communicate with the rest of the parishioners these persons, seamen, purposing to goe to sea foure dayes after, for to discover a passage by the North Pole to Japan and China. First, Henry Hudson, master. Secondly, William Colines, his mate. Thirdly, James Young. Fourthly, John Colman. Fiftly, John Cooke. Sixtly, James Beubery. Seventhly, James Skrutton. Eightly, John Pleyce. Ninthly, Thomas Baxter. Tenthly, Richard Day. Eleventhly, James Knight. Twelfthly, John Hudson, a boy.
The first of May, 1607, we wayed anchor at Gravesend, and on Tuesday, the sixe and twentieth day, in the morning, we made the lies of Shotland, and at noon we were in 60 degrees 12 minutes, and sixe leagues to the eastward of them: the compass had no variation. We had sixty-foure fathomes at our sounding, blacke, ozie, sandie, with some yellow shels. Our ship made more way than we did suppose. On Saturday, the thirtieth of May, by our observation we were in 61 degrees 11 minutes. This day I found the needle to incline 79 degrees under the horizon. For foure days space we made very little way by contrary winds.
On Thursday, the fourth of June, we were, by our observation, still in 61 degrees and 14 minutes, eight and twentie or thirtie leagues from the norther part of Shotland: the land bearing by our accompt east and by north off us. I found variation in five degrees westerly.
