Excerpt from Arctic Searching Expedition: A Journal of a Boat-Voyage Through Ruperts Land and the Arctic Sea; In Search of the Discovery Ships Under Command of Sir John Franklin

Her Majesty's government having deemed it expedient that a further attempt should be made for the accomplishment of a northwest passage by sea from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the "Erebus" and "Terror" were fitted out for that service, and placed under the command of Captain Sir John Franklin, K. C. H. He was directed by the Admiralty instructions, dated on the 5th of May, 1845, to proceed with all dispatch to Lancaster Sound, and, passing through it, to push on to the westward, in the latitude of 74 1/2°, without loss of time or stopping to examine any openings to the northward, until he reached the longitude of Cape Walker, which is situated in about 98° west. He was to use every effort to penetrate to the southward and westward of that point, and to pursue as direct a course for Beering's Straits as circumstances might permit. He was cautioned not to attempt to pass by the western extremity of Melville Island, until he had ascertained that a permanent barrier of ice or other obstacle closed the prescribed route. In the event of not being able to penetrate to the westward, he was to enter Wellington Sound in his second summer.
He was further directed to transmit accounts of his proceedings to the Admiralty, by means of the natives and the Hudson's Bay Company, should opportunities offer; and also, after passing the 65th meridian, to throw overboard daily a copper cylinder, containing a paper stating the ship's position.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the 1848 overland Arctic searching expedition led by accomplished naturalist Sir John Richardson and funded by the British Admiralty. The expedition aimed to search for the missing ships Erebus and Terror, captained by Sir John Franklin, who along with his crew vanished while attempting the Northwest Passage. Their mission was to follow the traces of Franklin's expedition across the Northern Canadian wilderness and its vast network of lakes and rivers, all the way to the Arctic coast. Along the journey, the explorers encountered numerous obstacles, from rough terrain and inclement weather to dwindling supplies. The author, a respected Arctic explorer, provides a gripping firsthand account of their struggles and discoveries, detailing both the challenges and rewards of scientific exploration in one of the world's most unforgiving environments.
