Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An obsession for hundreds of years, the search for the fabled Northwest Passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific is a tale of ambition, fear, folktales, courage, and controversy.

Download or read book Voyages of Delusion written by Glyndwr Williams and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glyn Williams's book charts the 18th-century's perilous and often fatal attempts to discover a passage through the Arctic to the Pacific. Set in the heat of 18th century exploration fever it charts the many perilous expeditions undertaken to find the maritime philosopher's stone from amongst the ice and eskimos of Hudson Bay. Fuelled by the promise of fame and riches from revitalised British trade and dominance of the North American continent, the search for this illusory passage even captivated Cook - the most pragmatic of explorers. Williams examines successive expeditions from James Knight to George Vancouver. The secretive Hudson's Bay Company plays a supporting role throughout, as does Sir Arthur Dobbs whose political ambition - and obsessive pursuit of the illusory passage - relied heavily on exploitative cunning, personal greed and putting other's lives at risk.
