| Summary | "Report on the Dominion Government Expedition to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Islands" by A. P. Low is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The report documents the expedition of the steamship "Neptune" to Hudson Bay and the Arctic regions during the years 1903-1904, focusing on geographical, geological, and ethnological observations. It provides insights into the exploration efforts undertaken in these remote areas, highlighting the contributions of the crew and scientific staff involved in the journey. The opening portion of the report lays the groundwork for the expedition, detailing the preparations made for the voyage, including alterations to the ship and gathering provisions for a lengthy journey. A. P. Low introduces the team that accompanied him, including the medical staff and various specialists tasked with natural history studies. As the "Neptune" sets sail, the narrative reveals a sense of adventure and resilience, describing the picturesque yet harsh landscapes encountered along the coast of Labrador and into Hudson Strait. The expedition's intentions include patrolling the waters, collecting data, and establishing permanent stations for regulation and law enforcement in the unorganized northeastern territories of Canada.
