EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment during Sir Allen Young's Pandora Arctic Expedition of 1875-1877. In this image, the intrepid crew of the Pandora can be seen using the ship's boats to hunt walruses in the frigid Arctic waters off the northern coast of Canada and Alaska. The expedition, which was funded by Young in his quest to discover the Northwest Passage and any traces of the lost Franklin Expedition of 1845, is depicted here in the midst of a successful hunt. Sir Allen Young had made two attempts to navigate the Northwest Passage between 1875 and 1877, but it was during the second attempt that the crew encountered a large herd of walruses. The crew, shown here in the engraving, took advantage of the opportunity to hunt for food and supplies. The walrus, a large marine mammal with a distinctive tusks, was a valuable source of meat, blubber, and ivory for the explorers. This historical image provides a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by the crew of the Pandora during their Arctic expedition. The harsh Arctic climate, treacherous waters, and the constant threat of scurvy and other diseases made the journey a daunting one. Despite these challenges, the crew persevered, and their success in hunting walruses helped to ensure their survival during their long and arduous journey. The Pandora, a sturdy and well-equipped ship, played a crucial role in the success of the expedition. It was the perfect vessel for navigating the icy waters of the Arctic, and its boats proved to be essential for hunting and exploring the coastline. This engraving serves as a testament to the determination, resourcefulness, and ingenuity of the crew of the Pandora, who braved the unknown to uncover the secrets of the Arctic and contribute to the rich history of exploration.
