Henry Holt, 2002, ISBN:0805052143
RUBY, Robert. Unknown Shore: The Lost History of England's Arctic Colony. NY: Henry Holt, (2002). Pp 300. Illustrated with drawings and facsimiles to text. 8vo, illustrated card covers. "A masterly historical narrative, Unknown Shore offers the true story of how the first European colony in North America was lost to memory, then found again three hundred years later. England’s first attempt at colonizing the New World was not at Roanoke or Jamestown, but on a mostly frozen, pocket-sized island in the Canadian Arctic. Queen Elizabeth I called that place "Meta Incognita" - the Unknown Shore. Backed by Elizabeth and her key advisers, the erstwhile pirate Martin Frobisher set out three times across the North Atlantic, in the process leading what remains to this day the largest Arctic expedition in history." -from the cover.
