Historical notes:
Best was second-in-command on Martin Frobisher's second expedition to discover the Northwest Passage in 1577. He was captain of the Anne Frances during the third 1578 voyage. His maps of the regions which Frobisher explored are probably based on detailed charts drafted by James Beare, master of the Anne Frances.
