Funded by the U. The expedition was commanded by the experienced and self-taught Arctic explorer Charles Francis Hall , who had previously lived among the Inuit in the Arctic region during previous attempts to determine the fate of Franklin's lost expedition of Hall possessed the necessary survival skills, but lacked an academic background and had no experience leading men or commanding a ship.
He had managed to secure the position of expedition commander based on his authority on the subject of the Arctic. Polaris departed from New York City in June Barely underway, the expedition already found itself hampered by poor leadership. Insubordination loomed, mainly at the instigation of chief scientist Emil Bessels and meteorologist Frederick Meyer—both German—who looked down on what they perceived to be their unqualified commander. Bessels and Meyer were supported by the German half of the crew, further increasing tensions among a group of men that were already divided by nationality.
By October , the expedition was wintering in Thank God Harbor , Greenland , and making preparations for the trip to the Pole. Hall suddenly fell ill and died, accusing members of his crew — particularly Bessels — of orchestrating his murder. On the way southward, nineteen members of the expedition became separated from their ship and drifted on an ice floe for six months and 1, miles 2, km before being rescued.
The damaged Polaris was run aground and wrecked near Etah in October The remaining men were able to survive the winter and were rescued the following summer.
