| Meer info | “gedaan in de jaren 1819 en 1820 door de schepen The Hecla en The Griper” First Dutch translation of “Journal of a voyage for the discovery of a North-West passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific” 1821. Parry's voyage, which had taken him through the Parry Channel three quarters of the way across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was probably the single most productive voyage in the quest for the Northwest Passage. Luck had been on their side; 1819 was unusually ice-free and no ship was able to travel so far west until Edward Belcher's expedition in 1850. |
