St. Roch's Triumph: Circumnavigating a Continent

In 1944, the St. Roch sailed back from Halifax to Vancouver via the Northwest Passage in a single season, taking just 86 days. This feat made it the first vessel to transit the passage in both directions and the first to circumnavigate North America. The voyage was a powerful demonstration of Canadian skill and Arctic sovereignty. #Canada #StRoch #CanadaIsAwesome #ArcticExploration 🇨🇦

Fun fact about Lofoten Islands. Despite their northerly latitude, the islands enjoy relatively mild winters thanks to the Gulf Stream, providing a unique habitat for diverse wildlife and making them a year-round travel destination. #ArcticExploration #WildlifeHaven #trvljourney Image Credit:@sharewutang on instagram

Heute vor 170 Jahren starb in Bad Ems Kapitän Sir William Edward #Parry, der auf der Suche nach der #Nordwestpassage 1819-1820 mit den Schiffen Hecla und Griper im Polarmeer überwinterte. Auch in Deutschland wurde das seinerzeit diskutiert: die Berichte regten Caspar David Friedrich zum berühmten Gemälde "Das Eismeer" an, und Fürst Pückler reiste 1827 nach Deptford, um Parrys Schiff Hecla zu besichtigen.
