Account of the American Jeannette Expedition of 1879-81, financed by J.G.Bennett of the New York Herald, and commanded by George W.De Long. The Jeannette sailed from San Francisco into Bering Sea and through Bering Strait, but was caught in the ice near Herald Island in November of 1879. For nineteen months she drifted northwest until the ship was finally crushed and sank northeast of the New Siberian Islands.
