    Sir Edward Belcher

    Sir Edward Belcher, naval surveyor, explorer (born 27 February 1799 in Halifax, NS; died 18 March 1877 in London, England). As a surveyor, Sir Edward Belcher participated in major British naval expeditions to the Bering Strait, Africa, the Americas and the Far East. Belcher proved able, though quarrelsome and vindictive. In 1852, he was given charge of five ships sailing in search of Sir John Franklin. Belcher's expedition rescued Captain Robert McClure and his men — marooned for three winters during their own search — but his ships were icebound, and in summer 1854 he ordered that four be abandoned. Back in England, he was court-martialled for his actions but later exonerated. Belcher spent the rest of his life in literary and scientific pursuits. (See also Belcher Islands.)
