Description:
World map on Mercator’s Projection showing the discoveries made by Captain William Parry in 1819 and 1827. Australia’s southern coast is named Vancouvers Land
Rear Admiral Sir William Edward Parry (1790-1855) was an English rear-admiral and Arctic explorer. His 1819 voyage through the Parry Channel was probably the most successful in the long quest for the Northwest Passage. In 1827 he attempted one of the earliest expeditions to the North Pole. He reached 82°45′ North latitude, setting the record for human exploration farthest North that stood for nearly five decades.
