John Davis (sealer)
Captain John Davis (born 1784 in Surrey, England) was a seal hunter from Connecticut, United States, who captained men who may have been the first to have set foot on Antarctica on 7 February 1821 shortly after the first sightings of the new continent, all in 1820, by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev (28 January), Edward Bransfield (30 January) and Nathaniel Palmer (November).
==Antarctic claim==
Some of Davis' crew from the American sealing ship, ''Cecilia'', may have landed at Hughes Bay (64°01'S) looking for seals for less than an hour. The ships logbook entry reads:
These men were the first recorded humans to have claimed to have set foot on the newly discovered continent of Antarctica.〔 〕
The first undisputed landing on Antarctica did not occur for another 74 years, on 24 January 1895, when a group of men from the Norwegian ship ''Antarctic'' went ashore to collect geological specimens at Cape Adare. The group included the Norwegians Henrik Johan Bull and Carsten Borchgrevink, and the New Zealander Alexander von Tunzelmann.
