First edition of one of the the earliest publications on the milestone voyages of the St. Roch, during which it became the first ship to successfully navigate the North West Passage from west to east and the first to traverse the passage in a single season. "During the eastward voyage 1940-42, the St. Roch wintered at Walker Bay, west side of Victoria Island, 1940-41; proceeded via the southern route, south of King William Island, and north to Pasley Bay, west side Boothia Peninsula, where the schooner wintered 1941-42; continued north through Bellot Strait and east through Lancaster Sound to Pond Inlet on Baffin Island; thence to Sydney, N.S. On the westward trip in 1944, the schooner accomplished the first Northwest Passage in a single season, via Pond Inlet, Lancaster and Melville Sounds, and Prince of Wales Strait" (Arctic Bibliography). Arctic Bibliography 14926. Octavo. With 2 half-tone plates, 2 maps, tables in text. Original printed blue wrappers. Very good.…

First journal publication of this account discussing the first successful eastwards traversing of the North West Passage and the 86-day return voyage, during which the St. Roch became the first vessel to traverse the passage in less than a year. The ship remains "the most famous Canadian vessel in Arctic exploration" (Delgado, p. ix). Under the command of the experienced Arctic seaman Henry Asbjörn Larsen (1899-1964), the 80-ton schooner set sail from Vancouver on 23 June 1940. Just over two years later, in October 1942, the ship reached Halifax Harbour, bettering Amundsen's 1903-6 east-to-west transit by 11 months. The return journey, undertaken to maintain Canada's Arctic sovereignty, was completed in autumn 1944. Arctic Bibliography 9706. James Delgado, Arctic Workhorse: The RCMP Schooner St. Roch, 2003. Large octavo. With 6 half-tone plates, 2 maps (1 folding). Original blue card wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in blue. Very good.…
