After Sir John Franklin and his ships disappeared in the Arctic while seeking the Northwest Passage, 39 rescue missions were launched, including one by the HMS Resolute. In 1854, it became locked in the ice and was abandoned. A year later, American whalers discovered the Resolute drifting 1,200 miles away and steered it to Connecticut.
