His father Josiah Wood Whymper was a celebrated wood-engraver and artist and his younger brother Edward Whymper was a renowned alpinist who made the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. In his youth, Frederick Whymper was a talented artist working to produce engravings for publication and having his landscapes on exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 1859 to 1861. In 1862, he travelled to Victoria; and British Columbia and to the Caribou in the following year. In 1864 he joined road builders in the area of Butte Inlet and left shortly before the Chilcotin WarMany of his early travels were by steamships. His drawings include volcanoes on Kamchatka and Alaskan glaciers. While in the far north, Whymper served on the Vancouver Island Exploring Expedition and the Western Union Telegraph Expedition (1865). He spent the winter of 1866 at Nulato, Alaska with W.H. Dall and travelled up the Yukon River to Fort Yukon. When the first American flag was raised over the new territory of Alaska, he was at Fort Yukon to witness it.In November 1867, Whymper came back to England where the account of his travels, Travel and Adventure in the Territory of Alaska, was published in 1868.

Download or read book The Unruly Ocean written by Erika Techera and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-13 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces non-specialist readers to the history of how human societies have sought to control, use and exploit our oceans, seas and shorelines over time in different geographical and cultural contexts. The Unruly Ocean examines the development of the modern international legal regime – the law of the sea, maritime law, marine environmental and pollution law, fisheries regulation, and underwater cultural heritage law – and considers how effective these laws have been in addressing the many challenges facing marine and coastal environments ranging from piracy and war to oil spills and the extraction of marine resources. It concludes by discussing the socio-ecological crises facing the world’s oceans, seas and shorelines, and explores current ideas for reimagining a legal regime that restores the health of our oceanic realm and offers a more holistic, transboundary, rights-based approach to ocean governance. This book will be of value to law and non-law undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as research scholars and other educated audiences interested in a legal history of the world’s oceans, seas and shorelines.
