Steven Borough (1525-1584), navigator, was born at Northam. In 1553 he took part in the expedition under Sir Hugh Willoughby to seek a northern passage to Cathay and India, serving as master of the Edward Bonaventure. In a second expedition, he discovered Kara Strait, between Novaya Zemlya and Vaygach Island. Around 1558, he visited the navigational school in Seville and returned to England with a copy of Martín Cortés de Albacar's Breve Compendio. This was translated by Richard Eden and published as the Art of Navigation in 1561. It became the first English navigation manual.
