I think the thing I like most about The Sea, as, like... a setting or a concept, is that in its vastness, its untameable nature, its unknown secrets, you have a lot of historically documented events that sound more like tales out of mythology and folklore.

Take, for instance, the fate of the Victory Expedition of 1829.

The Victory expedition was a private polar expedition led by veteran British explorer Captain John Ross. Twenty-three men set sail for the Canadian Arctic on the steamship Victory, but when the ship became trapped in the polar ice, there was no way to free it. The crew spent four years in the frozen north, surviving on rations from the wreck of a previous polar exploration ship.

Eventually, twenty survivors packed their belongings into small boats and hauled them over ice towards open water. And in that open water, there was a ship, the whaler Isabella of Hull.*

The Isabella's crew couldn't believe their eyes, because, as they told the Victory's survivors, "Captain Ross has been dead these two years."

And if that wasn't strange enough, the (very much alive) Captain Ross of the Victory had, on a previous Arctic expedition, been captain of the Isabella.

*Side note: the more I read about the Age of Sail, the more I realize that wherever official Explorers™ from a given Western nation go, their whalers have already beaten them there. Sometimes that's even the reason the explorers were sent.

WAKE UP, NEW FRANKLIN EXPEDITION ARTIFACTS JUST DROPPED

Hoar's journal/book. Such a gorgeous cover!

Eyeglass found in what is presumed to be Le Vesconte's cabin.

Bracing myself for the day I get jumpscared by Fitzjames items. By now I feel like I'm family and should be notified in advance.

See the other two items here:

I've been wondering what the British Royal Navy was up to after 1815, since there was relative peace (mostly to help me imagine what happened after Persuasion), then I stumbled across this: there was a Royal Navy squadron that spent about 60 years patrolling Africa and freeing slaves! More than 150,000 of them. It was started in 1808 and Wentworth could have joined.

I could totally see Wentworth and Anne on a ship that battled against slavery! Maybe even William Price from Mansfield Park as well.
