Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific

Journal of a Second Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific

After joining the Navy at thirteen, William Edward Parry (1790–1855) spent three years protecting the whale fisheries of Spitzbergen. He was later appointed to several Arctic expeditions. Although his first voyage in search of the North-West Passage ended without success in 1819, it provided valuable scientific data and experience. The expedition of 1821–3 was longer, with two winters spent on the ice, but also ended without success. Parry's account of that second voyage, first published in 1824, provides insights into the early days of Arctic exploration and the character of one of its pioneers, noted for his care for his men, his precision in navigation and scientific observations, and his ability to quickly find solutions to difficult problems. The book also includes descriptions of the 'Esquimaux' encountered by the explorers, and their communities as well as a vocabulary of their language.

William Edward Parry (1790–1855) spent the early part of his naval career protecting the whale fisheries of Spitzbergen. He was later appointed to several Arctic expeditions, including three in search of the North-West Passage. This 1821 publication, reissued here in the unchanged second edition from the same year, describes the first of these voyages. Although unsuccessful, it provided valuable scientific data and experience that shaped subsequent expeditions. Noted for his care for his men, and his ability to quickly find solutions to difficult problems, Parry realised during this expedition the importance of keeping his explorers occupied during the winter, and started a newspaper and a theatre group. This first expedition established that, contrary to John Ross's 1819 account (also reissued in this series), a westward route through Lancaster Sound did in fact exist. It also began to map the many islands in the region.

Narrative of an Attempt to Reach the North Pole

Narrative of an Attempt to Reach the North Pole

pokkari
One of the leading Arctic navigators of his age, William Edward Parry (1790–1855) led three expeditions in search of the North-West Passage (accounts of which are also reissued in this series). Parry's early career had been spent protecting the whaling fleet of Spitsbergen and this experience led him in 1826 to propose to the Admiralty an expedition to the North Pole. In order to reach further north than earlier attempts, Parry used sledge-boats that could be towed over the ice on runners, and then take to any open sea that the crew encountered. In 1827 the expedition attained a record latitude that stood for nearly fifty years. This illustrated account, published in 1828, was described by the Quarterly Review as a record of 'the patient, persevering, energetic, and undaunted conduct which British seamen are capable of displaying, in the most difficult, discouraging, and dangerous circumstances'.

"Journal of the Third Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage" by Sir William Edward Parry recounts the intrepid expedition of 1824-1825 in search of a navigable route through the Arctic. Parry, a distinguished British naval officer and explorer, meticulously documents the challenges, triumphs, and scientific observations made during this perilous journey. In this captivating narrative, Parry illuminates the harsh realities of Arctic exploration, including treacherous ice floes, bitter cold, and the ever-looming threat of scurvy. His detailed accounts offer readers a vivid portrayal of the unforgiving Arctic landscape and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Through Parry's keen observations and insightful commentary, "Journal of the Third Voyage" not only serves as a historical record of exploration but also as a testament to the bravery and determination of those who dared to venture into the unknown.
