The Book of the Ocean, by Ernest Ingersoll, Part 6

Let's sail the seas of sleep with more from this varied history of the oceans. This time, 18th century explorations of the Pacific, Arctic exploration going back to the 1500s, the ill-fated journey and many searches for Franklin's expedition on the Erebus and Terror, and the nautical history of the Resolute Desk, which has weathered some choppy seas indeed.
