From as early as the middle of the sixteenth century Englishmen were interested in the possibility of exploring the fabled resources of the great river of the Amazons. During the first half of the seventeenth century English and Irish projectors made persistant efforts to maintain trading factories and plantation there. From at least 1612 to 1632 they inhabited settlements along the north channel of the estuary from Cabo do Norte to the Equator, making very considerable profits from tobacco, dyes and hardwoods.
