Jonas Poole
Jonas Poole (bap. 1566 – 1612)〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004).〕 was an early 17th-century English explorer, sealer, and whaler. Although Henry Hudson has often been dubbed the "father of English whaling," Poole, whose 1610 voyage led to the establishment of the English whaling trade, deserves the title.
==Voyages to Bear Island, 1604-1609==
He served aboard vessels sent by the Muscovy Company on sealing voyages to Bear Island in 1604, 1605, 1606, 1608, and 1609. In 1607 he was among the sailors sent to the New World to establish Jamestown, in particular being one of the two dozen colonists led by Captain Christopher Newport that explored the upper James River in a pinnace as far as the falls near present-day Richmond, Virginia in late May of that year. In 1606 he was given command of a 20-ton pinnace. In 1608 he piloted the ship ''Paul'', and in 1609 he was master of the ship ''Lioness''.〔Purchas, S. 1625.
