The book chronicles Sir Humphrey Gilbert's endeavor to establish the first English colony in North America, focusing on his 1583 voyage to Newfoundland. It highlights the ambitions and challenges of English exploration during the late 16th century, providing a glimpse into the motivations behind colonial expansion and religious fervor of the time. The narrative unfolds with Hayes detailing the preparation and challenges faced by Gilbert and his fleet, which embarked on their journey with high expectations. After successfully claiming Newfoundland for England, the expedition encounters numerous hardships, including rough seas, sickness among the crew, and a lack of resources. Tragically, the voyage culminates in disaster with the loss of the flagship, the "Delight," leading to the death of many crew members, including Sir Humphrey Gilbert himself. Hayes's account combines a chronicle of events with reflections on the larger implications of such exploratory missions, questioning the morality and motivations behind colonization while honoring the resolute spirit of those involved.
