The Coppermine Expedition of 1819 to 1822 had as its goal the exploration of the northern coast of Canada and was funded by the Royal Navy as part of it's search for the Northwest Passage the expedition was plagued by a combination of bad-luck, poor planning and poor choice of allies as well as worse than usual weather leaving the expedition continually close to starvation. The expedition, led by Franklin, also included George Back and John Richardson, both of whom would become significant Arctic explorers in their own right. The desperate retreat soon after making the coast, across uncharted territory in a state of starvation, left eleven of the twenty strong party dead before the survivors were rescued by native people of the Yellowknife tribe. Franklin was much criticized for haphazard planning and failure to adapt to the circumstances he faced, but in Britain he was received as a hero. Quantity Available: 1.
