The Cruise of the Northern Light: Sisters of the Hunt

The year was 1927, and the Alaskan Territory, especially its northernmost reaches, was still largely unexplored. The “magic” of Alaska - of Northern Lights, and polar bears, and Eskimos and igloos, and the midnight sun – had been shaped in the popular imagination largely by explorers, whose names and achievements were still fresh in memory.

In telling the story of the five-month cruise of the yacht Northern Light, Courtney Borden was clearly aware that she was involved in making a bit of history – not only because such voyages were still relatively rare and certainly dangerous, but also because women were not customarily included in the cast of characters.
