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.

RT @PlasticAlps
Plastics in remote areas such as the high Arctic? Sadly, yes.
Watch @Kweisleitner sampling along the #NorthwestPassage in this #ARD documentary.

OTD 1850: #Miertsching 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)

In the Arctic, two shipping lanes are currently navigable in the summer. A third route is expected to open soon—the Transpolar Sea Route—and is of keen interest to China.

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 :) #NorthWestPassage #Artic #horror https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terror_(novel)

Happy 1st Sunday of Advent! The #Moravian Star (#Herrnhuter Stern) was first lighted in 1821. Johann August #Miertsching, a Moravian missionary, was the only one from Germany who was involved in the discovery of the #NorthwestPassage in 1850 while searching for the lost @franklinexpedition

Aquà está la versión original de Stan Rogers→
#northwestpassage #StanRogers #unleashthearchers
Beautiful!
But doesn't that make this piece [sorry can't help myself) the tardiest embroider?
#music #StanRogers #northwestpassage
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.
