Items related to Tudor Adventures – The Voyage of Discovery that...
In the spring of 1553 three ships, led by the merchant adventurers Richard Chancellor and Hugh Willoughby, sailed from London in search of the fabled Northeast Passage to the riches of the East. One ship reached a Russian port on the White Sea, to return with tales of the court of Ivan the Terrible; the others were lost in the Arctic wastes. This vivid, well-researched account captures the drama of this heroic but tragic endeavour.

Review:
Evans gives a rich account of a lesser known voyage that had a profound impact on England's age of exploration. ... Balanced and stimulating, Evans has produced a work suited to history buffs and general-interest readers alike.
Fans of travel narratives and light history reading will enjoy this work.
A wonderful adventure story, especially for those in awe of men who dared to breach the wilderness 500 years ago.
