Описание: This detailed eye-witness account, first published anonymously in 1819, describes Sir John Ross` abortive expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Its evidence about how the mission was abandoned at Lancaster Sound differed markedly from Ross` own report, published the same year amid controversy, and also reissued in this series.

Описание: In 1819, John Ross (1777-1856) published this account of his unsuccessful 1818 expedition in search of the North-West Passage. It tried to justify his decision to turn back at Lancaster Sound, which he mistakenly believed was impassable. Influential contemporaries disputed his claims, and the controversy nearly ruined his career.

Описание: This account, published in 1821, describes the first of Parry`s three voyages in search of the North-West Passage.
