Report on the Dominion Government Expedition to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Islands on board the D.G.S. Neptune, 1903-1904
Albert Peter Low
A government ship pushes into Hudson Bay and the Arctic islands to plant the flag and take the measure of the North. Low records the cruise to winter quarters at Fullerton, the passage through Hudson Strait, and the long frozen season of exploration that followed. A vivid account of Canada claiming its Arctic. Sail into the ice with the expedition that mapped it.
