| Meer info | "A Narrative of the Search for Lieut.-Commander DeLong and His Companions, Followed by an Account of the Greely Relief Expedition, and a Proposed Method of Reaching the North Pole." The ship Jeannette was to be used in an Arctic Expedition attempt to establish a "farthest north" with the ultimate goal of reaching the elusive North Pole. Lt. DeLong was to command the expedition and Lt. George W. Melville was to act as his engineer. The Jeannette encountered the ice beyond the Bering Straits and was eventually carried westward across the top of the European Continent until the ship floundered and was deserted by her crew in the area north of the Lena Delta. Most of the crew perished attempting to reach civilization, however a small party of survivors were eventually saved and Melville was one of these. Melville went on in his naval career and was on board the relief ship that recovered the Greely Expedition to Lady Franklin Bay. |
