Lithograph, mounted with PAD6117-PAD6118. A panoramic monochrome view of the three-masted HM Sloop, Dorothea and the two-masted HM Brig Trent, both moored in an expanse of sea ice against a backdrop of frozen hills. A polar bear is shown in the immediate foreground to the left and another some way behind the Trent. Four figures stand close to Trent's stern holding weapons. The image probably represents an event when, passing the north west boundary of Spitzbergen on the 12 June, the channel became blocked with ice and the Trent and Dorothea were pushed into shallows by the tide and fast flowing ice. Both vessels remained firmly trapped in the ice for 13 days. On the evening of the 14 June a polar bear, attracted by the smell of burning walrus fat, was killed by a group of mariners with muskets.
