Book excerpt: "Setting sail out of San Francisco in July 1879 with provisions for three years, this expedition had been lavishly equipped and fitted out by Mr. Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of the New York "Herald", best known for his sponsorship of Stanley's expedition in search of Livingstone. De Long intended to sail through the Bering Strait and to approach the Pole by way of the New Siberian Islands and Wrangel Island. Two years passed, and all that was known of the 'Jeannette' was that she had passed the Strait and had been seen in the vicinity of Wrangel Island. During those two years she had fought gallantly against the ice, but in spite of every effort the ship was crushed by the floes. Her crew escaped in three boats, but some perished in a storm, and most of those who reached land died from starvation and exposure. One of the greatest and most tragic tales from this period of exploration and one that vividly displays the perils these explorers put themselves through in the name of science. Pieces of the wreckage of the ship later washed up on the south-west shores of Greenland. The discovery of these fragments gave pause to another explorer, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, who from this evidence postulated the existence of a vast current beneath the polar ice. On the basis of this theory he developed a plan to geta ship stuck fast in the ice and allow the current to drift the ship to the pole; the plan and its outcome were the subject of Nansen's FARTHEST NORTH."--Abebooks website

Download or read book Voyage of the Jeannette written by Emma de Long and published by Rediscovery Books Limited. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USS Jeannette left San Francisco in July of 1879 bound on a voyage of exploration to find a route to the North Pole via the Bering Strait. George W De Long had previously shown himself to be the stuff that exploration commanders were made of when, in 1873, he led a small party in the Little Juniata - a steam launch from the USS Juniata - on a search to Cape York for the US Steamer Polaris. His exploits on that trip are described in this book which consists of his journals edited by his wife, Emma. The Jeannette ended up being crushed and sunk by the arctic ice and De Long and his crew had to abandon ship into three small boats. Of these only one took its crew to safety whilst De Long and others perished slowly with his faithfully completed journal being updated to the last. The commander of one of the other vessels, Chief Engineer Melville, eventually found the remains of De Long and his party after a protracted search. This two volume set provides a poignant and well illustrated account of the man, his missions and the whole saga of arctic exploration at this time. As the book concludes; 'sacrifice is nobler than ease, unselfish life is consummated by lonely death, and the world is richer by this gift of suffering.'
