Did You Know....? - All At Sea


A ship called the Resolute once made a 1000 mile journey without any crew. Part of an 1852 expedition which left England in search of the North-West Passage, the Resolute was abandoned when it became stuck in ice off the north coast of Canada. The ship was seen 474 days later by the commander of an American Whaler, 1000 miles to the east. Apart from shipping a little water, the Resolute was in excellent condition.
