Sailors in search of the lost Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin (1786–1847) fend off polar bears. In the spring of 1845, Franklin had embarked on a British expedition to find the Northwest Passage to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He and and his 128-member crew were last seen that July. After three years, the Admiralty offered a large reward to find Franklin, setting off a series of rescue attempts, among them the British expedition portrayed here under the command of Sir John Ross (1777–1856).

A map of the discoveries of John Ross and his nephew, John Clark Ross, in the Gulf of Boothia, with five coastal profiles (one lettered upside-down). On an expedition to find the North West Passage Ross was the first European to enter the gulf (although it had been seen by Parry in 1822), naming it after their patron, gin-magnate Sir Felix Booth. They spent the next four years stuck in ice, during which time John Clark Ross became the first European to reach the Magnetic North Pole, then at Cape Adelaide on the Boothia Peninsula. Eventually the crew left their ship and were rescued by a whaler, who thought they had perished two years before. This map was published in Ross's 'Narrative of a Second Voyage in Search of a North-West Passage', 1835.
