Item description from seller

First edition of one of the the earliest publications on the milestone voyages of the St. Roch, during which it became the first ship to successfully navigate the North West Passage from west to east and the first to traverse the passage in a single season. "During the eastward voyage 1940-42, the St. Roch wintered at Walker Bay, west side of Victoria Island, 1940-41; proceeded via the southern route, south of King William Island, and north to Pasley Bay, west side Boothia Peninsula, where the schooner wintered 1941-42; continued north through Bellot Strait and east through Lancaster Sound to Pond Inlet on Baffin Island; thence to Sydney, N.S. On the westward trip in 1944, the schooner accomplished the first Northwest Passage in a single season, via Pond Inlet, Lancaster and Melville Sounds, and Prince of Wales Strait" (Arctic Bibliography). Arctic Bibliography 14926. Octavo. With 2 half-tone plates, 2 maps, tables in text. Original printed blue wrappers. Very good.
