Ship Quest for North West Passage Ends in Death on Marble Island
In a mid Atlantic venture, two Hudson's Bay Company ships the Albany and the Discovery sought the North West Passage under Captain James Knight. The expedition failed, leaving wrecks and skeletons on Marble Island after a grim winter with scurvy and no rescue, as Knight's secrecy sealed the fate of his crew.
