Summary
| Description |
English: Commander William Edward Parry, RN, FRS abandoned the beset HMS Fury at "Fury Beach", Somerset Island, Nunavut in 1825.
He left two admiralty pattern anchors, stores and boats on the beach for future explorers to use. The anchors remained as landmarks for navigators for 136 years. In 1956 Capt T.C. Pullen, RCN sailing in CCGS Labrador recovered the anchors which eventually came to be displayed at the Museum of Fort Saint Jean. The anchors of HMS Fury (1814) are on permanent display near a parade field at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean. "The HMS Fury anchors are on the northeastern corner of the Royal Military College Saint-Jean parade square" Quote: Eric Ruel, Conservateur, Musée du Fort Saint-Jean.
