Description

This important historical document sheds new light on the ill-fated second voyage of Captain Sir John Ross in search of the elusive Northwest Passage. Originally suppressed by the British government, the details of the voyage's failure to reach its destination have been uncovered and laid out in this volume. With detailed descriptions of the ship's technical difficulties and the efforts to repair them, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges faced by Arctic explorers in the mid-19th century.
