8vo. With folding map and 8 tinted lithographed plates. (Some minor spotting or staining.) Modern half calf gilt. FIRST EDITION. McDougall sailed as Master aboard the Resolute, one of five ships in Sir Edward Belcher's Franklin search expedition. This is essentially his shipboard journal from April 1852 until the Resolute was abandoned in the ice in May 1854. After being abandoned, the Resolute apparently broke free from the ice, and was found floating near Baffin Island in 1855 by an American whaling ship. This book includes an account of the eventual recovery by the Americans. Arctic Bibliography 10603; Hill 1124; Sabin 43183.
