Voyage of Discovery, Made under the Orders of the Admiralty, in His Majesty's Ships Isabella and Alexander - Ross, John

In 1819, John Ross (1777-1856) published this account of his unsuccessful 1818 expedition in search of the North-West Passage. It tried to justify his decision to turn back at Lancaster Sound, which he mistakenly believed was impassable. Influential contemporaries disputed his claims, and the controversy nearly ruined his career.
