Samuel Hearne, English Explorer

Hearne begins his third journey. Samuel Hearne (February 1745 ??? November 1792) was an English explorer, fur-trader, and author. 1766, he joined the Hudson's Bay Company as a mate on the sloop Churchill, which was then engaged in the Inuit trade out of Prince of Wales Fort, Churchill, Manitoba. The governor, Moses Norton, sent Hearne in search of a possible copper mine. On his third journey Hearne became the first European to reach the shore of the Arctic Ocean by an overland route. By tracing the Coppermine River to the Arctic Ocean he had established there was no Northwest Passage through the continent at lower latitudes.
