Omtale

These two volumes, published in 1883, document the doomed Polar expedition of George W. De Long (1844–81). Compiled by his wife from his journals and the testimony of the survivors, Volume 2 records the ship's wreckage, the crew's escape in smaller boats, and the discovery of De Long's remains.
