This is a brilliant book about a small ship that along with her sister ship, Terror, survived the Antarctic only to sink in the Arctic on an expedition to find the North-West Passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
The book is incredibly well researched and engagingly written and is a maritime mystery that will almost certainly never be solved.
For anyone interested in exploration and heroic tales, this is a book for you.
