Description

In 1850, Richard Collinson captained the HMS Undertaking on a voyage to the Arctic by means of the Bering Strait on the lookout for the missing Franklin expedition. Arctic Hell-Ship describes the day-to-day progress of this little-known Arctic expedition, and examines the often worsening family members between Collinson and his officers. William Barr has primarily based his analysis on a variety of original archival documents, and the book is illustrated with a number of vivid paintings by the ship’s assistant surgeon, Edward Adams.
