Baychimo is the legendary Hudsons Bay Company ship that survived for years in the Arctic after being abandoned by her crew in 1931. In the 1920s the crew of Baychimo set up trading posts in eastern Canada sailed on fur-trading expeditions to Siberia during the turbulent years of the Russian Civil War & eventually made the dangerous annual voyage around Alaska to Canadas western Arctic coast shouldering her way through the ice floes to re-supply the HBCs remote trading posts. Anthony Dalton tells the story of the hardy ship & her sometimes irascible captain Sydney Cornwell & through them brings to life the larger story of the community of northern traders hunters & sailors of which Baychimo was a part. But this ships story had a remarkable twist. When Baychimo was caught in 1931 in an ice floe that refused to let go her crew expected her to sink at any moment & abandoned ship. But she was as stubborn as the ice & she floated away unharmed to begin what would prove to be the longest phase of her seemingly charmed career: for the next four decades she would appear on the horizon at unexpected times & places always defiantly upright & afloat becoming the legendary ghost ship of the Arctic. ...
