1927 Print Map Victory Arctic Chart Drift Barrow Strait North Somerset John XGQ7

This is an original 1927 halftone print map of the Track and Winter Quarters of the ship Victory, captained by John Ross during his Arctic expedition of 1829-33. The map encompasses the lands and islands to the west of North Somerset and Boothi Felix.

The ship and crew encountered extreme difficulties during the expedition, being trapped in the Arctic ice for four years. During these four years, the crew launched various exploration trips with the assistance of a local Inuit. During one exploration, Ross' nephew, James Clark Ross, found the magnetic north pole on the Boothia Peninsula.

This map would make a terrific companion piece to the original 1927 halftone print of the Victory. To view, see the link below.
