Beskrivning
In 1850, Richard Collinson captained the HMS Enterprise on a voyage to the Arctic via the Bering Strait in search of the missing Franklin expedition. Arctic Hell-Ship describes the daily progress of this little-known Arctic expedition, and examines the steadily worsening relations between Collinson and his officers. William Barr has based his research on a wide range of original archival documents, and the book is illustrated with a selection of vivid paintings by the ship's assistant surgeon, Edward Adams.

Recensioner i media
"I glanced at a couple of pages of Arctic Hell-Ship and became so engrossed in it that I started to read parts of it. What I thought would be an erudite analysis of the journey was, instead, a story 'brought to life'. What a fabulous adventure!" Mr. David Karpeles, Karpeles Manuscript Library
