Today in 1950, the St. Roch arrived in Halifax, becoming the 1st vessel to circumnavigate North America, going from Halifax to Vancouver, then through the Arctic back to Halifax.
She is also the first vessel to complete a voyage through the Northwest Passage going west to east.

OTD 1850: begab sich in Devonport an Bord von HMS Investogator. "... Miertschings Englisch war bestenfalls rudimentär: »Comander McClure … nahm mich sehr freundlich auf, setzte mir gleich Wein, Rosinen, Mandeln und Olieven vor, und sagte mir mehreres, was ich aber nicht verstandt.«" (Zitat aus unserem Buch)

Just finished The Terror by Dan Simmons.

This was a fantastic read, a gripping plot with well rounded characters.

Highly recommended, especially if you like a bit of mid 19th century naval history mixed with Stephen King style horror :) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Te

I've posted about my knitting and my dog and my tea (or lack thereof), but not much else. Here is possibly the most Canadian embroidery ever: a line from the Stan Rogers song Northwest Passage, and a map of the Canadian arctic tracing the route (and eventual shipwrecks) of the Franklin expedition. This is a piece I made for my mother, who is both a Stan Rogers fan and a Franklinerd.
