John Davis (1543-December 29 1605), was one of the chief English navigators and explorers under Elizabeth I, especially in Polar regions. Davis was born at Sandridge near Dartmouth 1543. From a boy he was a sailor, and early went on voyages with Adrian Gilbert; both the Gilbert and Raleigh families were Devonians of his own neighbourhood, and through life he seems to have profited by their friendship.
