Following the disappearance of Sir John Franklin and his crew during a mission to find the North-West Passage, the Admiralty organised numerous searches for the missing men. The naval officer Edward Inglefield (1820–94) sailed to the Arctic in the summer of 1852 in command of the Isabel, a steamer donated by Lady Franklin on the condition that it was used to search for her husband. First published in 1853, Inglefield's account of the voyage is accompanied by a number of illustrations. The work also includes appendices listing the flowering plants and algae of the Arctic region as noted by the botanist George Dickie (1812–82), geographical and meteorological information collected by expedition surgeon Peter Sutherland (1822–1900), and Inglefield's correspondence with the Admiralty.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e A summer search for Sir John Franklin, chs. 1-6\u003cbr\u003e Notes on flowering plants and algae\u003cbr\u003e A few remarks on the physical geography of Davis Strait\u003cbr\u003e Meteorology\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence with the Admiralty.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Historical geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Historical geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Historical%20geography%20%5BHBTP%5D%22\"\u003eHBTP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266178371864,"sku":"9781108071765","price":25.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108071765i_45e3e620-7280-4676-910f-ddeb3b01a7d3.jpg?v=1696748874","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-summer-search-for-sir-john-franklin-with-a-peep-into-the-polar-basin-paperback-9781108071765","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
