(2) YA When the ice arrived unusually early in September 1897, eight whaling ships were trapped in the Arctic Ocean. The narrative alternates between the desperate whalers, the rescue boat, and the rescue team (members of what would become the Coast Guard). Sandler uses primary sources liberally--textual accounts as well as black-and-white photographs--in this thorough and deliberate tale. Timeline. Bib., ind.
