How did a ship involved in a failed search for a lost explorer
alter the course of history and become the symbol of Anglo-American
friendship? Sent into the Arctic to find Franklin in 1852, HMS
RESOLUTE was abandoned; then salvaged by an American whaler, who
brought her home on Christmas Eve 1855. When Britain and America
were on the brink of their 3rd war, she became the focus of the
hostilities.and then history was changed forever! Follow the
divergent lives of a sadistic commander, a Quaker abolitionist, an
intrepid Arctic explorer, a pro-slavery senator, an Irish sea
captain's wife and headstrong daughter, and a Yankee whaler as they
intertwine in the incredible story of HMS RESOLUTE!
