id=\"rr_wrapper25120\" class=\"rr_wrapper\" postid=\"25120\"><\/div>\r\n\t<div id=\"rr_content25120\"> \n<p>St. Roch is an ice\u2011capable wooden schooner with the following characteristics and record\u2011setting voyages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>hull form: heavy scantlings, reinforced bow, and the pragmatic compromises of designing a supply and patrol vessel for icebound waters in the 1920s. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>first west\u2011to\u2011east traverse of the Northwest Passage (1940\u201342),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>first to complete the Passage in a single season (1944)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>first ship to circumnavigate North America (finished 1954 via Panama).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">By way of background, Roald Amundsen\u2019s 1903\u20131906 voyage in the little sloop Gj\u00f8a was the first complete transit of the Northwest Passage, achieved by going small, staying close to the coast, and learning from the Inuit rather than trying to overpower the Arctic. She did this going east to west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Gj\u00f8a was a small, wooden, former herring\/fishing sloop of about 45\u201347 tons, shallow draft, and fitted with a modest paraffin engine of around 13 horsepower. Amundsen deliberately chose a vessel much smaller than the big, heavily manned naval expeditions, reasoning that a tiny crew could live off local resources and maneuver through narrow, shallow channels that would trap larger ships. He bought and refitted Gj\u00f8a in 1901\u20131902, tested her in Arctic sealing, then sailed from Christiania (Oslo) in June 1903 with only six other men aboard. The route took them across the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, then west through Lancaster Sound and along the routes earlier probed by Franklin and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">By late 1903 Gj\u00f8a was frozen into a small natural harbor on the south side of King William Island, where the expedition would remain for two full winters in what is now Gjoa Haven, Nunavut. Here they met and lived alongside Netsilik Inuit families, who effectively kept the expedition alive and transformed Amundsen\u2019s understanding of Arctic travel. Rather than relying on heavy European woolens and man\u2011hauling, Amundsen adopted Inuit practices: wearing animal-skin clothing that stayed warm even when damp, building snow houses when needed, and using dog teams for transport. During these winters, Amundsen also sledged out to determine the then\u2011current position of the North Magnetic Pole, work that took extensive field travel and further deepened his dependence on Inuit guidance, food, and techniques.[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R4nZMW6KmJY\">youtube<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The written record does not single out one specific Inuit man who \u201ccared for him for two years\u201d in the way later heroic narratives sometimes do; instead, Amundsen repeatedly emphasizes how an entire community taught and supported the Norwegians. Individual Netsilik hunters and families hosted, fed, and guided the Gj\u00f8a party, but sources treat this as a collective relationship rather than a single named patron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">In 1906 Gj\u00f8a finally rounded into the Bering Strait and on to Nome, Alaska, where Amundsen and his crew arrived to a jubilant reception after three years in the ice. From Nome, Amundsen took the news of his success to the wider world; he traveled on from Alaska by ship and then by more conventional means, while Gj\u00f8a herself would ultimately be brought south to San Francisco and later returned to Norway as a museum ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">After reaching Nome in 1906, Amundsen\u2019s long \u201ctrek\u201d was less a single heroic dog-sled dash than a series of onward journeys from the edge of the Arctic into the transport networks of the Pacific. His mastery of dog\u2011sled techniques, learned from the Inuit during the Gj\u00f8a winters, shaped not only his local movements around Nome and other Alaskan and Yukon settlements but also his planning for later expeditions, most famously his successful South Pole journey where dog sleds and Inuit-style clothing were central. Contemporary summaries focus on the symbolic climax at Nome\u2014the moment the tiny Norwegian fishing sloop emerged from the Arctic with proof that the fabled passage could be navigated\u2014rather than on a single, dramatic dog-sled relay out of Nome itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The Northwest Passage quest was primarily a British obsession in the 19th century, with Norwegian and other explorers entering the story later; Dutch involvement in Northwest Passage searching had largely faded well before Amundsen\u2019s time. After Amundsen\u2019s successful 1903\u20131906 transit, there was no significant continuation of Northwest Passage attempts by Dutch national expeditions, in part because the commercial and strategic rationale for further, costly voyages in the same region remained weak and the age of steam and later air travel was already beginning to shift Arctic priorities. For Norway, Amundsen\u2019s success effectively closed the chapter on the \u201cdiscovery\u201d of the passage itself, and Norwegian polar efforts shifted to other goals\u2014the South Pole, trans\u2011Arctic flights, and the Northeast Passage\u2014rather than repeatedly re\u2011sailing the Northwest Passage simply to prove it could be done again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25157\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9380-jpg-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1769340761&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;1.57&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01010101010101&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9380.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9380-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hull and bow geometry, masts and rig, wheelhouse\/bridge, and deck fittings adapted for Arctic ice work and cargo handling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>ST.

In 1962 the federal government recognized the ship&#8217;s national significance and designated her a National Historic Site. Together with the City of Vancouver, the federal government entered into an agreement to restore and interpret the vessel. In 1966, the A-frame that covers the ship today was built to protect her from the weather. In 1971, she was completely restored to her 1944 appearance by Parks Canada who then operated the ship as a separate part of the Vancouver Maritime Museum complex for the next 24 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25096\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9554-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1769345405&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0011441647597254&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9554.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img_9554-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Do note that the museum warns that access to the St. Roch exhibit may be limited in February and March 2026 because of building and exhibition maintenance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1995, Parks Canada closed ST.

The long term needs of the ship include a new shelter, restoration of the dry-rotted hull, and an endowment for ongoing preservation. In 1997, the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the RCMP launched a preservation campaign which continues to this day. A dramatic re-enactment of St. ROCH&#8217;s voyages in 2000 reached an audience of millions and attracted support, but the task is not yet over.

A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hudson%27s_Bay_Company\">Hudson&#8217;s Bay Company<\/a>&nbsp;expedition is ordered to establish a fort above the&nbsp;<a class=\"mw-redirect\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/70th_parallel_north\">70th parallel north<\/a>&nbsp;to support fur trapping. The expedition leaders are misled by the appearances of Cape Bathurst into thinking it is a favorable place for settlement. For all intents the cape appears to be very suitable since it has fresh water and is well wooded, with rich soil, vegetation, and abundant wildlife. After building Fort Good Hope they prepare to winter over. During the winter, a volcanic eruption occurs nearby, and unknown to the settlers, the link to the continent is broken and the iceberg &#8220;Cape Bathurst&#8221; floats into the Arctic Ocean,
