Discovering the North-West Passage : the four-year Arctic odyssey of H.M.S. Investigator and the McClure Expedition /Glenn M. Stein. The story of HMS Investigator and the voyage undertaken by Vice-Admiral Robert McClure (1807-1873) in 1850-1854 to search for the missing Franklin expedition which had disappeared in 1848. McClure was born in Ireland and joined the Royal Navy in 1824, obtaining his first polar experience in HMS Terror in 1836. He joined an early expedition to find the Franklin expedition in 1848 and then in 1850 accompanied HMS Enterprise, under the command of Richard Collinson, on a further search. The two ships were separated in a storm, never to meet up again. McClure continued through the Bering Strait but was eventually forced to abandon the ship after she became icebound in Mercy Bay in 1853. The crew continued overland finally meeting up with HMS Resolute and HMS Intrepid, also searching for Franklin from the opposite direction. The text is supported by a detailed bibliography, notes and appendices which include the crew list of HMS Investigator and detail the creation of the Polar Medal.

Arctic circles and imperial knowledge : the Franklin family, indigenous intermediaries, and the politics of truth /Annaliese Jacobs Claydon. "Stretching from Greenland to Tasmania, Artcic Circles and Imperial Knowledge follows the Franklin family's imperial career over forty years. It examines how explorers, families, and intermediaries engaged in the 'politics of truth' as they tried to define what was and was not true and who could and could not be believed. These struggles for authority were entangled in changing Indigenous and European politics and technologies; practices of exploration and colonial governance; scientific and social networks; the aspirations of imperial humanitarians and settlers; and the everyday lives of traders, whalers, sailors, convicts, women, and children. Arctic Circles and Imperial Knowledge weaves these stories together in an intimate global history of empire and exploration." 2024. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 917.195041

Arthur Phillip : sailor, mercenary, governor, spy /Michael Pembroke. "As a captain in the Georgian navy Arthur Phillip's integrity, intelligence and persistence made him perfectly suited to the role that history and circumstance presented to him in 1788, but landing the First Fleet at Botany Bay was only one of many achievements in a captivating life. His is a story of political intrigue, eighteenth-century sailing ships, and the race for economic and geographic advancement in a world that was becoming truly international. It is a tale of ambition, of wealthy widows and marriage mistakes; of money and trade, espionage and mercenaries, hardship and illness. Beyond the facts of discovery and exploration, this book reveals the extraordinary idealism and the influence of the Enlightenment on the founding of Australia."--Provided by the publisher. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 994.402092
