Description

The Northwest Passage used to be many times sought for over four centuries. From the primary attempt within the late 15th century to Roald Amundsen’s famous voyage of 1903-1906 where the feat used to be first accomplished to expeditions within the late 1940s by the Mounties to find an much more northern route, writer Alan Day covers all aspects of the ongoing quest that excited the imagination of the world.

This compendium of explorers, navigators, and expeditions tackles this broad topic with a convenient, but extensive cross-referenced dictionary. A chronology traces the long succession of treks to search out the passage, the introduction helps provide an explanation for what motivated them, and the bibliography provides a means for those wishing to find more information in this exciting subject.
