About this Book

Sails Over Ice picks up where The Log of Bob Bartlett left off. 

Between the years 1925–1933, Captain Bob Bartlett and the Morrissey explored coastal Greenland and much of Northern Canada, harvesting scientific specimens and Inuit artifacts for North American societies and museums and collecting Arctic mammals for zoos. This world-famous captain from Newfoundland never lost a single soul on either of these trips. Most believe that Bartlett’s contribution to exploration and natural science is without equal.

Review Quotes

"Prose that is crisp, muscular yet humorous. . . . Bartlett was a good writer and he is at his most eloquent when describing a life under sail."
    Atlantic Books Today

"A lively collection of yarns from a great story-teller."
    The Northern Mariner
