A battle between Englishmen and Inuit at Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, during one of Martin Frobisher's expeditions of the late 1570s
Summary
[edit]DescriptionJohn White – The skirmish at Bloody Point, Frobisher Bay (British Museum).png |
English: A battle between Englishmen and Inuit at Baffin Island, during one of Martin Frobisher's expeditions of the late 1570s. The Englishmen in an open boat steer towards the rocky shore through an icy sea and fire guns ashore at Inuit in parkas who are shooting arrows from the clifftops. Another Inuit paddles his kayak in the foreground, and other kayakers can be seen in the distance. The English boat carries a squarish white and red cross flag of St George defaced with an inescutcheon of the English royal arms (quartered with the fleurs-de-lys of France) as used in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. The image (British Museum, SL,5270.12) derives from the work of John White, a participant on Frobisher's expedition, and is probably connected with an episode of his third voyage to the Americas and what has since become Nunavut, Canada. |
