Willard Wentzel's account of the Mackenzie River
Following his return from participating in John Franklin's first overland expedition (1819–1822), Willard Wentzel, a clerk for the North West Company, produced a map of the Mackenzie River and a brief account of its geography, native peoples, and history and significance as it related to the North West Company. This map and the account, which is one of the few early descriptions of the Mackenzie River area, are held in the Royal Commonwealth Soci…
My Dear Beaufort: A Personal Letter from John Ross's Arctic Expedition of 1829-33
During his four years' residence in the Canadian Arctic in search of a Northwest Passage in 1829-33, John Ross wrote a private letter to Francis Beaufort, Hydrographer of the Navy. The letter, reproduced here, provides valuable historical insights into many aspects of Ross's character and of the expedition generally. His feelings of bitterness toward several of his contemporaries, especially John Barrow and William E. Parry, due to the ridicule s…
John Ross and Bellot Strait: Personality versus discovery
During his voyage to the North American Arctic in 1829–933 John Ross was twice on the verge of discovering Bellot Strait, once in August 1829 and again in June 1832. The discovery would have done much to redeem his reputation, shattered in his earlier Arctic voyage of 1818, and might have helped him to delineate, or even sail through, a northwest passage. Using previously unpublished material, this article examines the circumstances in which Ross…

The Arctic Committee of 1851: A background study Part 2
In part 1 of this article ( Polar Record , Vol 20, No 124, January 1980, p 3–17) we examined the troubled course of relations between captains Horatio T. Austin and William Penny during the early stages of their expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin in 1850–51. In this second part, we shall examine the climax of their uneasy cooperation, namely a prolonged dispute which took place throughout the course of 11 August 1851; then we shall look a…
The Arctic Committee of 1851: A Background Study Part 1
In 1850, five expeditions sailed for Baffin Bay with the common purpose of searching the Canadian Arctic for Sir John Franklin's missing North-west Passage expedition. They were all headed for different destinations and should have found themselves wintering many hundreds of miles apart; but, as chance would have it, three of them, led by Captain Horatio T. Austin, RN, Admiral Sir John Ross and the whaling master William Penny, were thrown togeth…

Chronological list of expeditions and histrical events in northern Canda. IX. 1881–96
During this short period began what may be termed the re-exploration of northern Canada, a scientific examination of lands that had been roughly charted by expeditions of the previous hundred years, but that were otherwise little known except to fur traders, a few missionaries, and the occasional traveller. Only now did the newly confederated Dominion of Canada begin to take a practical interest in its vast northern expansions. The government sen…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. XI. 1902–09
With this instalment, we conclude our presentation of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. Although we end here at about 1909, we have compiled the list up to 1920, a termination date chosen because the introduction of aircraft to northern Canada at about that time brought very many more persons into the region, and the list, to be continued after that date, would have to be conducted on different principles. We have presented th…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. X. 1896–1902
With this instalment of our list, the Klondike gold rush reached its height and, nearly as quickly, began to decline as the miners’ interest turned to newer strikes in Alaska. The great influx of prospectors to the Klondike region led to the passage of the Yukon Act and to the extension into the area of the enforcement of Canadian laws by the North West Mounted Police. In most other respects, the important trends noticed in the previous instalmen…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. VIII 1853–80
The Franklin Search continues through this instalment of our list, the main search culminating in the discovery by M'Clintock's expedition of the record that told of the Franklin expedition's success in finding a North-west Passage, of Franklin's death, and of the abandonment of his ships. Later, C. F. Hall and Frederick Schwatka discovered more bones and relics, which, however, added little to the bare outline of that tragic drama
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. VII. 1846–54
This instalment of our list is dominated by the search for Sir John Franklin's missing North-west Passage expedition (see 1845–48). The search began in 1847 and continued intensively until 1854, when Dr John Rae finally found the first clues regarding the fate of the expedition. An important feature of the search was the large number of sledge expeditions, which set out from the searching ships in spring. By this means, many thousands of kilometr…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. VI. 1821–45
In this instalment of our list, we see that the Hudson's Bay Company, under the shrewd direction of its overseas governor, George Simpson, quickly recovered from its exhausting struggle with the North West Company and, strengthened by amalgamation with its rival in 1821, began vigorously to push into unknown country both west and east. In the east, the Ungava venture was an attempt, mainly unsuccessful, to develop a fur trade in the interior of t…

Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. V. 1790–1821
During the period covered by this instalment of our list, the accomplishments of the North West Company, both in geographical exploration and in the realization of profits were great. It consolidated its position in the fur-rich Athabasca district and, with a few posts along Mackenzie River, began to draw in the furs of that immense territory. Its traders invaded not only the western part of Rupert's Land but even Hudson Bay itself. The Hudson's …
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. IV. 1763–89
If the Treaty of Paris in 1763 secured the Hudson's Bay Company in its monopoly of Rupert's Land, it also, by the Cession of Canada, opened to British enterprise the river-and-lake routes, discovered by the French, from Montreal to the fur-rich country west of Hudson Bay. This instalment of our list covers the years of the Montreal traders' expansion into the North-west, their crossing of the Arctic watershed into the fur trader's Eldorado, the A…
William Penny, 1809–92: Arctic Whaling Master
During the first quarter of the nineteenth century, British Arctic whaling enjoyed a prolonged period of expansion and prosperity. The industry began to grow rapidly after about 1812, and between 1814 and 1817 engaged the largest fleet in its history, an average of nearly 150 ships each year. After 1816, the whalemen embarked on an adventurous programme of geographical expansion, which brought extensive new whaling-grounds within their reach. Thi…
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada. II. 1670–1713
This second instalment of our list deals mainly with the competition between the French and English for domination of the fur trade in Hudson Bay. The period has been comparatively little studied and it has been difficult to piece out accurately and succinctly from the sources available the history of this lively period
Chronological list of expeditions and historical events in northern Canada: I. Early times to 1670
The following pages, the beginning of a series, are the first results of a chronological compilation of expeditions and historical events that will eventually embrace the entire Arctic and sub-Arctic area. We began work on the Canadian segment of the Northern Hemisphere in 1968, with financial support from the History Division of the National Museum of Man, a part of the National Museums of Canada in Ottawa. The History Division is allowing this …

My Dear Beaufort: A Personal Letter from John Ross's Arctic Expedition of 1829-33
During his four years' residence in the Canadian Arctic in search of a Northwest Passage in 1829-33, John Ross wrote a private letter to Francis Beaufort, Hydrographer of the Navy. The letter, reproduced here, provides valuable historical insights into many aspects of Ross's character and of the expedition generally. His feelings of bitterness toward several of his contemporaries, especially John Barrow and William E. Parry, due to the ridicule s…
