North Pole voyage tale told by a fearless navigator
An Indianapolis club recounts a remarkable voyage aboard the sidewheeler Dictator from 1822 to 1826. The crew claimed to reach the North Pole, describe an iron mile high pole from which the world supposedly hangs, and recount auroras and perilous crossings before celebrating with cannons and a jubilee.
