Sir W. Edward Parry's memoir details his celebrated Arctic expeditions, highlighting his groundbreaking 1819 voyage through the Parry Channel in search of the Northwest Passage, and his later attempts to reach the North Pole. Bound alongside it is the memoir of Captain W. Thornton Bate, a highly regarded surveyor and officer whose dedicated service in China during the Second Opium War ended with his tragic death at the Battle of Canton. Together, these memoirs offer a fascinating dual-portrait of 19th-century British naval endeavor, duty, and faith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54143062901075,"sku":"4383","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260619_122638_1.jpg?v=1782822064","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/memoirs-of-rear-admiral-sir-w-edward-parry-kt-the-rev-edward-parry-sammelband","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
