    Tips

    July 5, 2023

    John Rae (1813 - 1893) was a Scottish surgeon who explored parts of Northern Canada.
    Rae explored Boothia Gulf, northwest of Hudson Bay, from 1846 to 1847, and the Arctic coast near Victoria Island from 1848 to 1851. In 1854, back in Boothia Gulf, he obtained credible information from local Inuit peoples about the fate of the Franklin expedition, which disappeared in the area in 1848. Rae was known for his physical endurance, skill in hunting, boat handling, use of native methods, and ability to travel long distances with little equipment while living off the land.
    Rae was born at the Hall of Clestrain in Orkney.
