| Meer info | In 1821-1823 Lyon was captain of the Hecla, the second ship on an expedition from William Edward Parry to northern Canada. The expedition investigated the northern part of the Hudson Bay (the Foxe Basin), and Fury and Hecla Strait was discovered. In 1824 Lyon was again sent to this area, now as leader of an expedition. He had to try to sail westward through Fury and Hecla Strait. He sailed south of Southampton Island, and wanted to reach via Roe's Welcome Sound Repulse Bay. His ship, the Griper, however, was severely damaged in Roe's Welcome Sound by tides and wind, which made him decide to turn around and return to England. |
