Merchant Adventurers
About this book
'Merchant Adventurers' illuminates wider themes in the history of exploration, trade, science, globalisation, and the making of modern England. In 1553 three ships sailed from London into uncharted waters. They sought a northern passage to Asia and its riches. Although they failed to reach China, their achievements would lay the foundations for England's expansion on a global stage.
