Unlike the scenic views, it speaks directly to the practical work of the expedition: surveying harbours, recording soundings and fixing positions in a landscape where survival depended on ice, shelter and seasonal movement. The harbour charts in Ross’s account were meant to transform hard-won experience into usable geographical knowledge for future navigators. This example is especially attractive as a separately catalogued polar map, linking the abandoned vessel, the repeated wintering of the crew, and the broader mapping of Boothia Felix by John Ross and James Clark Ross during the 1829–33 expedition.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53123569582427,"sku":"P-7-028320","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028320a.jpg?v=1779887913","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/victoria-harbour-by-captain-john-ross-2nd-arctic-expedition-1835-old-map-p-7-028320","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
