USS Jeannette (1878)
The USS ''Jeannette'' was a naval exploration vessel which in 1879–81, under the command of George W. De Long, undertook an ill-fated voyage to the Arctic. After being trapped in the ice and drifting for almost two years, the ship was released from its ice-grip, then trapped again, crushed and sunk some north of the Siberian coast. De Long and most of his crew reached land, but many of them, including De Long, subsequently perished in the wastes of the Lena Delta.
The vessel had begun its active career in 1861 as HMS ''Pandora'', a Royal Navy gunboat. After more than a decade's service off the West African coast and in the Mediterranean, ''Pandora'' was retired from duty and sold as a private yacht to a British explorer, Allen Young. Young took her on two voyages to the Arctic, in 1875 and 1876, before selling her to James Gordon Bennett, Jr., proprietor of ''The New York Herald'' , who changed its name to ''Jeannette''. Although it sailed to the Arctic under the U.S. flag, subject to naval laws and discipline, Bennett remained responsible for the costs of the expedition.
In 2015 a Russian explorer and media celebrity announced that there were plans to raise ''Jeannette'' from the seabed, as a gesture of Russian-American friendship.
