The first of these (1819-22) explored the arctic coast from the mouth of the Coppermine to Kent Peninsula, and on the second (1825-27), Richardson explored the coast from the MacKenzie Delta to the Coppermine. Along with Dr. John Rae, he subsequently mounted a search for the missing Franklin expedition along this same stretch of coast in 1848. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 142565
