1818-55 Arctic Medal engraved below Queen's bust in neat capitals to J. McCreadie, brooch clasp has been removed from obverse, suspender has been re-attached, generally fine. James McCreadie served on HMS Hecla on William Edward Parry's expedition in 1827 to try and reach the North Pole. The landing party proposed to man-haul boat sledges, but due to the slow southern drift of the floes, their progress was slow and in fact some days when moving north for hours, they gained no distance, which must have been demoralising. The highest latitude they reached was 82o 45'N, which was a distance of 172 miles from their point of landing, but they had travelled 580 miles including relaying. This northerly latitude was to remain a record until 1875. (See photo) (Y) £900*
