Question
The HMS Resolute left England in 1852 to sail to the Arctic.  Can you tell me the route that ship took?
Thanks,
Mercille

Answer
Hello Mercille.
I've had a more thorough search of the internet and found the National Archives site which has maps from the expedition. It looks like you might have to pay to see the maps online, if they're available online at all. If you go to :
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk and type in HMS Resolute in the Search box then click on Maps you'll be given a list of maps from the expedition held by the National Archives.

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
