Frobisher had two earlier voyages to the north, in 1576 and 1577. Davis had two earlier voyages to the north, in 1585 and 1586. Hudson had three other voyages. The three other, in 1607, 1608, and 1609, all attempted to go over the North Pole and were stopped by ice. On the third, he decided to try going west and reached North America (near where New York City is now).
