notes:
This image illustrates part of an attempted journey taken in 1782 by a party of Englishmen, a woman, and a child with the Inuit by dogsled from Nain in the present-day province of Newfoundland and Labrador to a town called Okkak. They traveled over frozen sea, but a storm broke up the ice, they narrowly escaped death, and they were forced to return to Nain. Nain was founded in 1771 as a Moravian mission. Image placed horizontally on page.
