Crozier, Francis Rawdon Moira

    0.01 sec.

Crozier, Francis Rawdon Moira (1796–1848)

Naval officer, born in Ireland. He made three voyages with Captain Parry to the Arctic regions in 1821–27, went to the Antarctic Ocean with Captain James Clark Ross in the Terror in 1839–43, and sailed as second officer in Franklin's last expedition in 1845 to discover the Northwest Passage. All the members of the expedition died in Arctic Canada.

The party was not heard of till Captain McClintock found a record (signed in April 1848 by Captain Crozier) on King William Island in 1859, stating that the explorers were about to start for Great Fish (now Back) River under Crozier's command.
