English: James, Thomas. The Platt of Sayling For The Discoverye Of A Passage Into The South Sea 1631-1632 [facsimile]. [1:21,542,400]. In: Christy Miller. The Voyages of Captain Luke Foxe of Hull, and Captain Thomas James of Bristol, in Search of a Northwest Passage, in 1631-32 with Narratives of the Earlier Northwest Voyages of Frobisher, Davis, Weymouth, Hall, Knight, Hudson, Button, Gibbons, Bylot, Baffin, Hawkridge, and others.

The title of this map states clearly the intention of the voyage to North America undertaken by Captain James. He entered Hudson Bay to search for and hopefully discover a passage leading west into the Western (or Southern) Ocean. His purpose was not fulfilled. Interestingly, James indicated on his map the wider arena of exploration in the quest for the Northwest Passage, by including the northern regions of Foxe Basin, Davis Strait and Baffin Bay. During his attempt he clarified the character of the west mainland shore south of Cape Henrietta Maria, and made unnecessary further search south of the Nelson river for this western waterway. James erroneously made Southampton Island into a peninsula, although he had not traveled into its immediate area. (Warkentin and Ruggles. Historical Atlas of Manitoba. map 6, p. 26) Map originally printed in black in Thomas James, The Strange and Dangerous Voyage of Captaine Thomas James, in his intended Discovery of the Northwest Passage into the South Sea Wherein the Miseries Indured Both Going Wintering Returning & the Rarities Observed both Philosophicall and Mathematical are related in this Journal of it. London: 1633. |
