In the Arctic Seas
by Francis McClintock
In 1857, Lady Jane Franklin, the determined wife of Sir John Franklin, who vanished with his crew during their ill-fated 1845 quest to uncover the Northwest Passage, enlisted Captain Francis McClintock to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance. She outfitted him with the small steam yacht known as the Fox. This gripping account chronicles McClintocks two-year expedition, beginning with a challenging initial attempt to navigate the Davis Strait, which left the Fox trapped in ice off Greenland for an entire winter. As the ice melted the following year, McClintock pressed onward to the Canadian Arctic islands, where an extensive search ultimately revealed the harrowing fate of Franklin and his crew. Join us for this captivating journey through treacherous seas and the indomitable human spirit. (Summary by Patrick Eaton)
