Davis Strait

canada is an ocean nation we have the world's longest coastline as a consequence of that that's our inheritance and we recognize the obligations and responsibilities that come with that to help lead efforts to understand those oceans and of course to protect them said mr carney speaking at the launch of ocean eye international alliance so that's right he's putting the priorities of the ocean ahead of canadians now the The money will pay for year-round mooring in the Arctic Ocean, which is warming four times faster than the global average, said Mr. Carney.

It will support autonomous underwater gliders beneath the ice, expanded monitoring of the Labrador Sea and Davis Strait.

It will also more than double Canada's contribution to the Global Argo Ocean Climate Monitoring Network and help modernize the National Oceanographic Data Centre, among other investments.

This is absolutely ridiculous nepotism on an extreme level because Mark Carney appointed none other than his own wife to head this up.

Hubble C. Chester of Noank, Connecticut, is the first mate.

The former has been 30 years at sea and 20 years navigating more or less in Davis Strait.

The latter has been for 12 years in the Arctic Sea.

The second mate is William Morton, who was on the first Grinnell Expedition, 1850-1851. and with dr kane on his remarkable expedition of eighteen fifty three fifty four and fifty five this morden is the adventurer who with the esquimaux hans made the sledge journey northward from kane's winter quarters latitude seventy eight degrees thirty seven minutes north up to cape constitution where he discovered the renowned open polar sea the esquimaux family joe hannah and their little daughter will

But, sharply replied Shandon, there must be facts to establish that theory, and if there are any, added he with irony, our universal well-informed doctor ought to know them.

Well, replied the above-mentioned, with amiable satisfaction, if it interests you, I can tell you that whales, wounded in Davis Strait, are caught sometimes afterwards in the neighborhood of Tartary with the European harpoon still in their flanks.

And unless they have been able to double Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope, replied Shandon, they must necessarily have rounded the septentrional coasts of America.

That's what I call indisputable, doctor.

However, if you were not convinced, my dear fellow, said the doctor smiling, I could still produce other facts, such as driftwood, of which Davis Straits are full, larch, aspen, and other tropical trees.

Now we know that the Gulf Stream hinders these woods from entering the straits.

If then they come out of it, they can only get in from Bering Straits.

It was the trunk of a mahogany tree, gnawed right into the center by worms, but for which circumstance it would not have floated.

But despite that, that's not the case now.

But should a, a situation arise where the, um, Russian ships should try and make some, you know, provocations in Greenland, I think it's reassuring for us to know that, that, uh, Canada is just on the other side of the Davis Strait.

So, um, I think that's a very good idea.

You know, we share...

The enthusiasm which was aroused over the departure of Sir John Franklin's expedition gave place to a deep national anxiety as the years passed without any word being received of his whereabouts.

On October the fourth, eighteen forty-nine, the True Love arrived at Hull from Davis Straits, and her commander, Captain Parker, reported that he had heard from some Eskimo that the Erebus and the Terror had been seen in the previous March fixed in the ice and apparently abandoned in Prince Regent's Inlet.

No confirmation was ever obtained for this report, but it served to excite public anxiety still more, and expeditions began to be organized for the relief of the missing explorers.

In all, twenty-one expeditions were sent, of which eighteen were British and three American, to search the neighborhood where it was anticipated Sir John and his gallant band would be.
