Fox (ship)
The steam yacht ''Fox'' was the vessel that Francis Leopold McClintock commanded in 1857-1859 on an expedition to the Arctic in northern Canada to search for the fate of the missing expedition of Sir John Franklin.
==Construction and Early History==
''Fox'' was a built as a yacht for Sir Richard Sutton, 2nd Baronet at a cost of about £5000. The ship's hull was diagonally planked with Scotch larch on the inside and East India teak on the outside, and the two-cylinder auxiliary steam engine of 16 n.h.p. gave a speed of about seven knots.
''Fox'' had made just one cruise to Norway before Sutton’s death. After a period of use in the Baltic during the Crimean War, the vessel was laid up in a partly dismantled state at the builders’ yards. The executors of Sutton's will sold the ship for £2000 to Lady Franklin for her Arctic search.
