This ebook was transcribed by Les Bowler
"Journal of the Third Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage" by Capt. W. E. Parry is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Parry's ambitious voyage led to discover a maritime route through the Arctic to expedite trade with Eastern Asia. Central to this narrative is the detailed documentation of the crew's efforts, challenges, and observations during the expedition. The opening of the journal introduces Captain William Edward Parry, beginning with his early naval career and experiences in Arctic exploration. It explains the motivations behind the expedition and outlines preparations for the journey, including equipment modifications and supplies. As the expedition sets sail from England in May 1824, the early sections detail the logistical challenges faced while navigating through ice-filled waters, along with scientific observations and nautical measurements intended to gather valuable data while searching for the elusive North-West Passage.
