Description
English: A starboard quarter view of 'Alert' (1856) alongside ice under Cape Prescott detained by the ice.

On board HMS 'Alert' Lt. Parr recorded 'we brought up under the lee of an island just outside the bay and made fast to a large floe which stretched between it and the shore, there being no lead round Cape Prescott, but what seemed to be a solid mass of ice’. Franklin Pierce Bay was described as being three miles broad and two-and -a-half deep. The ships were delayed for nearly two weeks in this area while they waited for openings in the ice to allow them to proceed further north.

Fast to a floe under Cape Prescott, Franklin Pierce Bay, 9 August 1875
Date 9 or 12 August 1875
Dimensions Overall: 330 x 392 x 130 mm
