The Hubbard Expedition

Before I state the goals of my Kickstarter proprosal I would like to share a brief story that is an important influence on my project


Hubbard expedition leaving Lake Melville, North West River, Labrador, 1903


In 1903, Leonidas Hubbard, Dillon Wallace and George Ellison departed North West River (A) with the goal of paddling and portaging across Labrador to the Ungava Bay (B) to the north.


But plagued by poor judgement and bad luck, his party turned back and Hubbard died of starvation just 30 miles from camp.


Two years later, in the summer of 1905, his widow, Mina Hubbard, completed the journey across Labrador.
