North West Passage

Looking for Northwest Passage (navigation route connecting the North Atlantic and the Pacific North America's Arctic Circle), intensified in the early 19th century. After the Napoleonic war, the British government elected to hire a large navy of the country to do a series of expeditions for discovery, interest in rapid access to the Pacific, and economic benefits of the resulting trade It was disgusting. The motive force of these companies was mainly from John Burrough (Deputy Secretary of the Admiral from 1804 to 1845), they also believed that Russian exploration posed a threat to North America.

John Ross is the son of a pastor, Andrew Ross, a British pastor near Stranraer in Scotland. He joined the Navy as a 9 year old disciple in 1786 and worked in the Mediterranean Sea and the British Strait. By 1808 he became captain of the Swedish Navy and became commander in 1812. Six years later in 1818 he received the initial investigation of a series of explorations exploring the Polarland of the Northwest Passage of the Ballou Navy. His nephew, James Clark Roth, sailed with him Among his officers were William Parry and John Franklin, they both became famous Arctic explorers and many expeditions I was responsible. These advanced with a dramatic increase, eventually leading to Franklin's disaster in the 1840's, and 138 men were murdered.

In the first adventure, Ross departed from London in April 1818 and drove two British naval vessels. The expedition team rediscovered Baffin Bay on August 31 and entered Lancaster Bay. After a brief exploration, Ross believed he saw the way to the west completely blocked by the mountains. Apparently it was Mirage, but he decided to return by boat, in violation of the advice of his executive officers. This is a decision that almost destroyed his reputation.

The pursuit of Northwest Passage began with a man named Martin Frobisher in 1576. Martin Frobisher tried to find Northwest Passage at three different times but failed every time trying to find Northwest Passage. Due to these failures, Henry Hudson tried to find Northwest Passage. Henry Hudson was the first person to successfully cross the Hudson River. When he returned to England in 1610, he was appointed by the British Courtier Group to try to map the Northwest Passage. When he tried to go back and find the Northwest passage, he found himself named after Hudson Bay. However, after having a very difficult and long winter, he was locked up on the ice and his crew was upset. Henry Hudson, some of his young son and his faithful companion was forced to leave the boat by boat. Henry Hudson never saw it again.

In 1845, two ships wanted to leave England, put the Northwest Passage into the Arctic Circle, and open a trade route to the other side of the world. Under the guidance of Sir John Franklin, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus never made ice and 129 crew members never appeared again. According to the 2007 novel by Dan Simmons, "fear" represents a double fear. The first one was a fear that it was trapped in the middle of the frozen Arctic Ocean for many years when Spring was thawed and refused. Based on the evidence discovered by the searcher, I can reasonably think that what really happened to the crew, which creates amazing and accurate explanations of the ice's nightmare, from crew tension to scurvy and frostbite threats. I will. Spirited. Living hell

At that time, it was generally thought that the western coast of North America was moderately sailing, or that the two were physically connected in reality. It is considered as a narrow narrow northwest channel known as the Anian Strait, which is believed to connect to the Atlantic at 42 degrees north latitude in the Pacific Ocean (today's latitude between Oregon and California). Confirming the connectivity of the St. Lawrence land and finding this Anian Strait is an important element in Spain's effort to establish a direct trade route with China and other Asian countries.
