EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the impressive "Arctic" a relief ship of the Canadian Mounted Police, on its journey to the most northerly police post on earth. The image, taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, showcases the vessel's sturdy structure against a backdrop of icy waters. The "Arctic" played a crucial role in transporting Captain Steele to this remote location, where he would serve as part of an elite team responsible for maintaining law and order in such extreme conditions. This print is now part of a private collection. The photo serves as an illustration for "More Heroes of Modern Adventure" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published by Harrap in 1929. It beautifully depicts the heroism and determination required to undertake such perilous missions during that era. Looking closely at this historical artifact, one can't help but be transported back to a time when exploration was synonymous with bravery and adventure. The stark contrast between the ship's dark silhouette and the vast expanse of ice highlights both its power and vulnerability against nature's forces. This image encapsulates not only a significant moment in history but also pays tribute to those who fearlessly ventured into uncharted territories for noble causes.
