Naval officer Sherard Osborn (1822–75) commanded the steam vessel Pioneer during Horatio Thomas Austin's 1850–1 mission in search of the missing Franklin expedition. Osborn's compelling eyewitness account, published in 1852, describes the first (and successful) trial of steam in the punishing Arctic conditions.
