2017., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: 910.9 M146d Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A vivid, comprehensive recasting of Arctic exploration history. Dead Reckoning challenges the conventional narrative, which emerged out of Victorian England and focused almost exclusively on Royal Navy officers. By integrating non-British and fur-trade explorers and, above all, Canada's indigenous peoples, this work brings the story of Arctic discovery into the twenty-first century. Orthodox history celebrates such naval figures as John Franklin, Edward Parry and James Clark Ross. Dead Reckoning tells their stories, but the book also encompasses such forgotten heroes as Thanadelthur, Akaitcho, Tattanoeuck, Ouligbuck, Tookoolito and Ebierbing, to name just a few. Without the assistance of the Inuit, Franklin's recently discovered ships, Erebus and Terror, would still be lying undiscovered at the bottom of the polar sea. The book ranges from the sixteenth century to the present day, looks at climate change and the politics of the Northwest Passage, and recognizes the cultural diversity of a centuries-old quest. Informed by the author's own voyages and researches in the Arctic, and illustrated throughout, Dead Reckoning is a colourful, multi-dimensional saga that demolishes myths, exposes pretenders and celebrates unsung heroes. Kenneth McGoogan is the author of Fatal Passage, Ancient Mariner, Lady Franklin's Revenge and Race to the Polar Sea"--Provided by publisher.

Ã2017., General, McClelland & Stewart Call No: 919.8 W341i Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The story of the greatest mystery of Arctic exploration and how a combination of marine science and Inuit knowledge led to the shipwreck's recent discovery. The book weaves together the epic story of the Franklin Expedition - whose two ships and crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice - with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the incredible discovery of the flagship's wreck in 2014. Author Paul Watson was on the icebreaker that led the discovery expedition. Sir John Franklin and the crew of the HMS Erebus and Terror set off in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. The hazards they encountered and the reasons they were forced to abandon ship hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization, and the decades of searching that turned up only rumours of cannibalism and a few scattered clues - until a combination of Inuit lore and the latest science yielded a discovery for the ages.
