ResumoBeechey first went to sea at the age of ten. He began his career as an arctic geographer and voyager in 1818 in the Trent, under the command of John Franklin who was accompanying H.M.S. Dorothea as it attempted to voyage across the Polar Sea. The next year, having joined William Edward Parry, he made the voyage to "Parry's West". Aboard the ship Blossom, Beechey next set out with the intention of meeting Franklin's second overland expedition, arriving five days late for his intended rendezvous with Franklin.
