A centuries-old dream finding and sailing the Northwest Passage lured British Navy explorer John Franklin to decades of adventure and eventual tragedy across the mostly frozen top of North America. As a midshipman, he joined Admiral Horatio Nelson in momentous sea battles and was aboard the first ship to circumnavigate Terra Australis. His first arctic assignment was to sail a ship over the North Pole. While charting the previously unexplored arctic coast of Canada, Franklin was joined by young Richard Pearne of the fur-trading Hudsons Bay Company. The foster brother of a forlorn French-Indian child of the wilderness, Richard lived devotedly with her through experiences serene and terrifying. As time passed and he canoed the Northern rivers, his lovely little sister developed into a strikingly beautiful young woman and fell heir to a wealthy French estate. Sir John Franklin was recognized for his exploits throughout the civilized world. But his destiny awaited one more voyage Great Britains grand, final attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. In 1845, commanding two ships and 129 men, Captain Franklin sailed into the ice-encrusted Arctic Ocean and to his mysterious fulfillment of the Northwest Passage dream.

About the Author

Richard D. Olson, a graduate in journalism, began his career with the U.S. Geological Survey as a writer-editor. He continued in that capacity with the U.S. Navys Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory and with the National Science Foundations Office of Antarctic Programs. During his government service, he journeyed extensively through the high mountains and tundra of far northern Alaska, and he traveled through parts of Antarctica, following up on research conducted at U.S. stations. In a later year, by car and bush plane, he familiarized himself with the river-and-lake wilderness of Franklins travels through Canada. His study of the explorer and the Northwest Passage stemmed significantly from those experiences.

soft breathable shirt
Color: Navycircles, Size: Large, Color: Navycircles, Size: Large
I measure a 33w and 42c. That would indicate that I should be closer to a size medium. But I have received enough summer short sleeve shirts that have a sizing chart that says that I should be a size medium only to find that they would only look good on me if I were built like Adonis. So I ordered a size large. It fits pretty well. I still think it is a little more snug than I would want but that is just my vanity wishing I had a flat gut. It is a bit difficult to read the washing instructions that are printed in silver on the inner collar. The label says it is 87% nylon and 13% spandex. The craftsmanship of the shirt is excellent. The collar has a nice cloth roll covering the seam so there is no chafing on the neck. The inner seams on the sides are double shitched with an interesting taper at the bottom that would only be noticeable if the shirt is not tucked in. The length of the shirt is sufficient that it will not try to pull out on the back and it is stretchy enough that I think if I tuck it in my underwear it will not pull out when riding my bike. I like the pattern. It is like the little dots on a bird feather repeated over and over.

I wonderfully versatile athletically fitting summer polo
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: Small
Don't really have any down sides on this polo. It's lightweight yet surprisingly wind resistant, even on cooler days im not losing all my body heat at the slightest breeze. It feels more like a cotton blend while performing like a polyester with the stretch and drying performance. The fit is very athletic, with just enough room in the chest and shoulders while hugging close to the midsection. This polo is quality both in looks, with the collar holding shape and appearance, the faux chest pocket ups the look of the shirt without being a clunky piece with a pocket that bunches up. Im thrilled with this polo and am buying more colors to have variety with this shirt. Wonderful wonderful value for the money if you're looking for a versatile close fitting shirt without hindering mobility

Great shirt with a couple of very insignificant flaws
Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small, Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small
Stylish, breathable, great fit, vibrant color, nice attention to detail with the colorway. Check out my photos for a look at the way the pocket colors and fabrics match that of the collar button, and the tiny perforations in the main fabric that allow you to stay cool in this shirt. There are a couple of spots where you can see flaws, but they're not significant enough to me to deduct a star. The flaws are the thread sticking out of the button, and how the collar has a bit of an indentation in it and isn't totally level smooth. It's hard to figure out how to iron the collar without creasing it in a bad location, so this is the way it looks after ironing with my best effort. All in all, as I've found with the Alex Vando brand, I enjoy their polo/golf shirts a lot - the fit, look, pretty much everything.

Comfortable summer wear. Runs a little big and long
Color: Blueoval, Size: Small, Color: Blueoval, Size: Small
This is a very comfortable polo. I can tell from the features that the shirt is pretty much designed for golf. - Very light weight like tees for runners. It is see through if not for the printed pattern. - Definitely breathable, perfect for dry weather region. Will keep you dry throughout the round and does not cling onto the body to inhibit motion. Structure stays crisp throughout the round. - Stretchable, does not restrict motion during golf, sweat or not. - Longer length to stay tuck in. Note: - It runs big overall. The model shown is 6’1” and he is wearing a Medium. Seeing that, I bought a Small even though I normally wear medium. It fits my upper body perfectly with a little room to spare. - It also runs a little long. It will definitely stay tucked in throughout the round. However, it is too long for me to wear it untucked. I am 5’ 8”. Overall I like the shirt’s quality and a reasonable price for a golf shirt. It would have been perfect had it not been a little long for untuck wear.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Very Versatile Shirt
Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium, Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium
This is a very nice‑looking shirt and it fits perfectly for my size. The design really stands out, and the blue color with the white accents looks sharp and clean without being too bold. The collar and buttons are good quality and add a nice, finished touch to the shirt. It feels well made and holds its shape nicely when worn. Comfort is another big plus—it’s comfortable enough to wear without an undershirt, which is great for warmer days. What I really like is how versatile it is. You can easily dress it up for business casual with a sport coat, wear it with khakis or jeans, as well as for golfing. It works well in a lot of different settings without looking out of place. It comes in at a good price point for the quality, and it would make a nice gift as well. Overall, a great‑looking, comfortable shirt that offers excellent value and flexibility.
