Ross Arctic expedition, 1829-33. Artwork of explorers on the expedition led by the British explorer Captain John Ross (1777-1856) to find the North-West Passage north of Canada. Here, the crew are in longboats being rescued on 26 August 1833 by HMS Isabella. Ross's crew had been stuck in the ice-bound HMS Victory since the winter of 1829, spending the time exploring the surrounding area. In May 1832, they walked to another ice-bound ship, long-since abandoned, and used that ship's longboats to escape the ice.
