The Ice-bound Whalers: the story of the Dee and the Grenville Bay, 1836-37

The Dee and the Grenville Bay were among five British whalers locked in the Arctic ice during the winter of 1836-37. The diaries of crew members, featured in this book, recall a grim struggle for survival, living in constant fear of the destruction of their ships, and watching helplessly as comrades succumbed to frost-bite and scurvy.
