Описание: James Parsons, author of this 1857 work on the disappearance of Sir John Franklin`s Arctic expedition, clearly had knowledge of naval practice, the seas and climate of the Arctic region, and the records of earlier expeditions. His account of the known facts concludes that there could now be no survivors.

Описание: This collection of letters by Arctic traveller and surgeon Richard King (1810/11-76), published in 1855, formed part of his campaign to locate and rescue the missing Franklin expedition. Officials ignored him, but King was later vindicated. His efforts constitute an interesting chapter in the history of polar exploration.
