Speakers Series - with Syd Dumaresq

The Northwest Passage

Join Syd Dumaresq as he traces “one warm line through a land so wild and savage”, telling the story of the Northwest Passage. Syd will present the history of the discovery of this fabled Passage including what was known in 1845 when Sir John Frankiln set sail, what was not known, the many failed rescue missions and the first two successful passages: one by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen, and two back-to-back passages by the Canadian RCMP officer Henry Larsen on the St Roch.

Warning: lots of dramatic and terrifying landscape, but not much Architecture!
