Andrew Lambert
Professor Lambert's reinterpretation of Sir John Franklin's legacy was published by Faber and Faber in Britain and Yale in the United States. The American edition is titled The Gates of Hell: Sir John Franklin's Tragic Quest for the Northwest Passage.
The noted author of Nelson: Britannia's God of War and War at Sea in the Age of Sale was inspired to write his book about Franklin while sailing in the Canadian Arctic aboard Kapitan Khlebnikov.
While aboard the icebreaker, Lambert, who has been referred to as the outstanding naval historian of his generation, will present two talks and introduce a documentary about contemporary searches for clues to the location of Franklin's ships. He was involved in the filming, some of which was shot on Kapitan Khelbnikov.
We welcome Professor Lambert back aboard the icebreaker as she sails from west to east through the Northwest Passage for the final time. Only 112 people will sail with Andrew Lambert on this End of an Era transit of the Northwest Passage. Don't let this special opportunity pass you by.
