Summary: "The Last Voyage of the Karluk" is a historical account related by Robert A. Bartlett and set down by Ralph T. Hale, written in the early 20th century. This narrative recounts the harrowing experiences of the Karluk, flagship of Vilhjalmar Stefansson's Canadian Arctic Expedition from 1913 to 1916. The text explores themes of survival and exploration in the Arctic, detailing the expedition's preparations, encounters with harsh conditions, and the eventual drift of the vessel trapped in ice. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects upon the prelude to the expedition, outlining the motivations and objectives of the Karluk's journey into Arctic waters. Highlighting the ship's characteristics and the crew's diversity, it sets a tone of anticipation mingled with foreboding about the likely perils they would encounter. The expedition's ambitious goals—ranging from ice navigation to scientific research—are contrasted with the realities of an unforgiving environment that would soon test the limits of human endurance and resourcefulness. The narrative elaborates on the founding crew's camaraderie and challenges as they embark on their perilous journey, asserting a strong sense of impending adventure fraught with the unknown.
