Absorbing true story of bitter and unpredictable survival on the harsh arctic seas.By Midwest Book ReviewLifetime Achievement Award-winning Canadian historian William Barr presents Arctic Hell-Ship: The Voyage of HMS Enterprise 1850-1855; the true story of Richard Collinson's sea voyage to the Arctic in search of the missing Franklin expedition. Collinson and his crew approached the Northwest Passage from the west; hoping to find and rescue the Franklin expedition; yet as time passed; relations between Collinson and his officers deteriorated so badly that three of them spent much of the voyage under arrest; though they were later exonerated of wrongful charges in the UK. A handful of color paintings by the ship's assistant surgeon; Edward Adams; illustrate this absorbing true story of bitter and unpredictable survival on the harsh arctic seas.
