William Baffin

William Baffin (died 23 January 1622) is an English navigator and explorer.

Nothing is known of his early life, but it is conjectured that he was born in London of humble origin, and gradually raised himself by his diligence and perseverance.

(Britannica 11th Edition gives a year of birth as 1584, but this is simply a guess, without any documentary basis.)
