Glenn M. Stein, "Discovering the North-West Passage: The Four-Year Arctic Odyssey of H.M.S. Investigator and the McClure Expedition" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0786477083 | EPUB | pages: 388 | 13.7 mb From 1850 to 1854, the ambitious Commander Robert McClure captained the HMS Investigator on a voyage in search of the missing Franklin Expedition, which sailed from England into the Arctic in 1845 to map the last uncharted section of the North-West Passage. The Investigator and her consort the Enterprise were to pass through the Bering Strait from the west but a Pacific storm separated them, never to meet again.

Samuel Cresswell.

For that, we need a concerted effort to encourage disarmament.
