As we finished our month long review of the Americas, our class was in a perfect spot to research information about the recent discovery of a British shipwreck in the Canadian Arctic that resolved a 169-year-old maritime mystery that led to the opening of the Northwest Passage linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
For those interested in the topic, our class enjoyed and highly recommends a documentary on PBS Home Video. The NOVA title, Arctic Passage, dramatizes Sir Franklin’s ill-fated quest to navigate the Northwest Passage along with Norwegian, Roald Amundsen’s triumphant voyage.
I hope you enjoy a sampling of our student’s reports!
