English: 'View of the Racehorse and Carcass August 7th 1773, when inclosed in the ice in Lat. 80o 37.N. Engraved for Payne's Universal Geography Vol V Page 481' Vol. V. Page 481. Under the command of Captain the Hon. Constantine Phipps, the ‘Racehorse’ and ‘Carcass’ set sail in June 1773 to find ‘a passage by, or near, the North Pole’ north of Russia. By early August the ice had closed about the ships north of Spitsbergen and preparations were made to abandon them and escape in the boats. However, a shift in the wind broke up the ice and freed the ships. Nelson was a midshipman in the ‘Carcass’ on this expedition. John Clevely (the younger) was not on the expedition but did a number of drawings later for engraving, originally in the published voyage account, from sketches by Midshipman Phillipe D'Auvergne (later a captain and the last Duc de Bouillon).[PvdM amended 1/12] |
