1625: 'Northwest Passage' first mentioned
The Rumor begins
<< Back
In 1625, Michael Lok publishes an account by a Greek navigator named Juan de Fuca, who claimed to have entered the fabled “Northwest Passage” (linking the Pacific and Atlantic oceans) during a Spanish expedition in 1592.
The Juan de Fuca Strait is named after him.
