In Search of the Northwest Passage

by Frances Hern

The fabled passage through the Arctic archipelago of Canada fuelled maritime exploration from the 16th to the 19th centuries.  Mapped out in these northern waters are the tales of struggle and survival, of mutiny and death, of mystery... and of success.

The fabled passage through the Arctic archipelago of Canada fuelled maritime exploration from the 16th to the 19th centuries.  The expeditions brought explorers to this rough, inhospitable labyrinth of islands, icebergs, and shape-shifting water routes.  Fearless and dedicated men braved harsh climates and treacherous conditions in the name of discovery.  Mapped out in these northern waters are the tales of struggle and survival, of mutiny and death, of mystery... and of success.
