I didn't get very far with this, but other hands have added material and I have tidied up its structure and organisation. Perhaps \I will have the chance to return to it soon; its a fascinating story. Brianboulton ( talk) 17:03, 2 January 2010 (UTC) reply

"While the expedition was a failure, the Nautilus did reach a latitude of 82 degrees north - the farthest north a vessel had ever been."
