1553: Hugh Willoughby and Richard Chancellor seek a North East passage
1562–1563: John Hawkins’ first slaving voyage
1564: John Hawkins’ second voyage.
1568: Hawkins’ third voyage – San Juan d’Ulloa
1576: Martin Frobisher reaches Meta Incognita – Baffin Land
1577–1580: Francis Drake sails round the world. Columbus, you were right – it’s round!
