What Our Customers Say...

A record of the voyages for the discovery of the North-West Passage, being the sea lane between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean, near the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Arctic Archipelago of Canada. For centuries, European explorers, beginning with Christopher Columbus in 1492, sought a navigable passage as a possible trade route to Asia, but were blocked by ice or by rough waters. This volume contains records of the attempts between 1821 and 1825. Bound by S. Curtis.
