"To-morrow, at the turn of the tide, the brig Forward, K. Z., captain, Richard Shandon, mate, will clear from New Prince's Docks; destination unknown." This announcement appeared in the Liverpool Herald of April 5, 1860. The sailing of a brig is not a matter of great importance for the chief commercial city of England. Who would take notice of it in so great a throng of ships of all sizes and of every country, that dry-docks covering two leagues scarcely contain them? Nevertheless, from early morning on the 6th of April, a large crowd collected on the quays of the New Prince's Docks; all the sailors of the place seemed to have assembled there. The workingmen of the neighboring wharves had abandoned their tasks, tradesmen had left their gloomy shops, and the merchants their empty warehouses. The many-colored omnibuses which pass outside of the docks were discharging, every minute, their load of sight-seers; the whole city seemed to care for nothing except watching the departure of the Forward. The Forward was a vessel of one hundred and seventy tons, rigged as a brig, and carrying a screw and a steam-engine of one hundred and twenty horse-power. One would have very easily confounded it with the other brigs in the harbor. But if it presented no especial difference to the eye of the public, yet those who were familiar with ships noticed certain peculiarities which could not escape a sailor's keen glance.

"The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras" (French: "Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras") is an adventure novel by Jules Verne in two parts: "The English at the North Pole" (French: "Les Anglais au pôle nord") and "The desert of ice" (French: "Le Désert de glace"). The novel was published for the first time in 1864. The definitive version from 1866 was included into Voyages Extraordinaires series ("The Extraordinary Voyages"). Although it was the first book of the series it was labeled as number two. Three of Verne's books from 1863-65 ("Five Weeks in a Balloon", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and "From the Earth to the Moon") were added into the series retroactively. Captain Hatteras shows many similarities with British explorer John Franklin.
