Ancient Mariner: The Amazing Adventures of Samuel Hearne...

Hearne is recognized as the British adventurer who, during a remarkable three-year odyssey starting in 1766, became the first European to reach the Arctic coast of North America. Beginning with Hearn's entry into the Royal Navy at 12 years of age, McGoogan paints an authentic portrait of life at that time, both on and off the water. He traces Hearne's harrowing journey of more than 3,500 miles, showing him to be a skilled navigator, pioneering anthropologist, naturalist, and gifted artist. On his return to Britain, Hearne met Samuel Taylor Coleridge and inspired his "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
