Did Samuel hearne find the northwest passage?

Samuel Hearne did not find the Northwest Passage. He was an early explorer who undertook several journeys in the late 18th century, primarily focused on mapping and exploring northern Canada. While he did reach the Arctic Ocean in 1771, his explorations did not lead to the discovery of a navigable route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Northwest Passage would eventually be navigated by other explorers later on.
