About This Item
William Heinemann, publishers, London - first edition 1938 hardcover, 6" x 8¾" (lacking jacket) Book in VERY GOOD condition The voyage of the "Jeannette" through Arctic waters in 1879 trying to reach the North Pole ended in failure, and in two searching inquiries (Naval Court, US Congress). Led by Lieut-Commander G W De Long, the "Jeannette" was frozen and later crushed in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle, and the survivor's boats separated by gales. The saga is told here from the viewpoint of "Jeannette's" chief engineer G W Melville, after extensive research.
