Joseph Davis (explorer)
Joseph Davis, (fl. 1692 - 1715), was a Hudson's Bay Company employee intermittently during that period.
History records Davis accompanying Captain James Knight when Fort Albany was recaptured from the French during an expedition in 1692-1693. He was in James Bay again in 1702-03 and a number of subsequent voyages, commanding his own ship from 1710 and forward. In 1715, he was unsuccessful in re-supplying Fort York where James Knight was now governor. He was unable to approach closer than 15 miles, no doubt because of ice and weather conditions. A years lost trade was a big blow to the HBC and they dismissed Davis.
This was the last written record of a man who had performed some very important tasks in the north and who ultimately is remembered for a failure which most certainly was beyond his control.
