He was the second explorer to discover parts of North America second only to the Norse Vikings. He was the first to try and find the North West Passage.  Much information about him is an opinion.  His first exploration was a bust as he did not have enough supplies and was not prepared so he decided to turn back.  His 2nd exploration is only known by letters that were written re guarding this trip. His final exploration does not have much information on it it was mostly guessed at because it is that John had died at sea in 1499.
