notes:
Several Inuit were invited aboard the ships in August, 1818.Sir John Ross joined the Royal Navy at the age of nine. In 1818 he was appointed commander of an expedition sponsored by the British Admiralty to find a northwest passage. The ships were the Isabella and the Alexander (commanded by William Parry), specially fitted out to withstand Arctic exploration and to make wintering over in the Arctic possible. His mission was to find a passage, note the tides, currents, ice conditions, effects of magnetism, and to collect specimens. Ross experienced mirages in the form of mountains that made him turn back quite early in the exploration. He made two more trips to the Arctic: one in 1829 during which he found the magnetic north pole and spent four years in the Arctic while losing only three men, and one in 1850 when he was 72 to try to find the party of Sir John Franklin.
