Anchor of HMS Fury

HMS Fury was a Hecla-class bomb vessel built in 1814, captained by Constantine Richard Moorsom, she saw wartime service in an attack on Barbary pirates at Algiers in August, 1816. The ship was converted to an Arctic exploration ship in 1921. Accompanied by sister ship HMS Hecla, HMS Fury made two journeys to the Arctic under the command of Sir William Edward Parry, an English rear-admiral and Arctic explorer in 1821 and 1825. She was damaged by ice while overwintering and was abandoned near 72°30’N 92°30’W on 25 August 1825 at what has since been called Fury Beach on Somerset Island, Nunavut. Parry’s account of this journey was ‘Narrative of the Attempt to reach the North Pole’ (1827). In 1827 Parry reached 82°45’N which remained for 49 years the highest latitude attained.

La Bataille d'Odelltown
Battle of Odelltown

Après l'échec de l'insurrection de 1837, des membres du parti des patriotes, rassemblés aux États-Unis sous la conduite de Robert Nelson, proclamèrent la République du Bas-Canada et tentèrent de revnerser le gouvernement. L'invastion de 1838, médiocrement organisée et mal ravitaillée, fut un échec. Le 8 novembre, l'armée se replia sur Odelltown. Les 9 et 10 novembre, elle attaqua la milice d'Odelltown mais celle-ci, soutenue par des renforts, la repoussa. Nelson s'échappa mais la dispersion de ses forces mit fin à l'avenuture.

Following the failure of the 1837 rebellion, a fraction of the partriote party gathered in the United States under the leadership of Robert Nelson to proclaim the Republic of Lower Canada and plot the overthrow of the government. Their invasion in 1838, however, was a fiasco, largely due to poor planning and inadequate supplies, and on November 8 the rebel force retreated toward Odelltown. On November 9 and 10 they attacked the defending militia, but were finally replulsed by reinforcements. Although Nelson escaped, the subsequent dispersal of his men virtually ended the insurrection.
