“In 1879, USS Jeanette left on a rescue mission towards the Northwest Passage. Caught in the ice, she wrecked and stranded her crew. The USS Rodgers was sent on both an exploration and rescue mission. Patrick Cahiil, a machinist on the expedition, kept a daily diary describing the journey, the people they encountered, and his thoughts and observations. Did the Rodgers find the Jeanette? Did the Rodgers make it back to San Francisco? Find out September 4 aboard the Balclutha!”
