notes:
The crew of the Blossom, realizing that they could wait no longer to meet up with Captain Franklin, left some supplies and instructions for him. It was late in the season and the sea was beginning to freeze, making further exploration too risky. They had come within 146 miles of Franklin's westernmost exploration.Beechey had served under John Franklin and David Buchan in 1818 on their Arctic exploration, and in 1819 he went with Parry on the Hecla to the Arctic. In 1825, aboard the Blossom, Beechey was to explore the possibility of a northeast passage from the west coast of the Americas in concert with Franklin and Parry operating from the east.William Smyth (1800-1877) was a naval officer (later Admiral) and talented artist who served aboard the Blossom.Image placed horizontally on page.
