The Scene on the Deck of HMS Discovery at Portsmouth, 1876
Engraving showing the scene on the deck of HMS Discovery at the end of her Arctic expedition, Portsmouth, 1876. In 1875 the British Admiralty sent Captain George Nares with two ships, HMS Alert and HMS Discovery, to make an attempt to reach the North Pole via Smith Sound. The attempt was unsuccessful, but a new furthest North record was set, the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island were charted and much scientific data gathered. The image shows the scene, in the autumn of 1876, as the sailors are re-united with their loved ones after a year away and the excited public is welcomed aboard the ship

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the moment of reunion and celebration on the deck of HMS Discovery in Portsmouth harbor, 1876. The British Arctic expedition led by Captain George Nares, which included the ships HMS Alert and HMS Discovery, had set out in 1875 with the ambitious goal of reaching the North Pole via Smith Sound. Although the attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, the expedition brought about significant achievements. A new furthest North record was set, the coasts of Greenland and Ellesmere Island were charted in detail, and valuable scientific data was gathered. After a year away from their families, the sailors were finally welcomed back to their homeland with excitement from the public. The image portrays the joyous scene as loved ones embrace their sailor heroes, while the curious public is given a rare opportunity to explore the ships and learn about the Arctic exploration firsthand." "Captured in the autumn of 1876, this historical scene is an important reminder of the courage and determination of the British Admiralty and the sailors who embarked on this Arctic expedition. The image, with its intricate details and engaging narrative, is a testament to the rich history of Arctic exploration and the scientific advancements that came from it. This engraving is a valuable addition to any historical or maritime collection." "
