Palmer, the Assistant-Surgeon on Charles Wilkes' United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-42 that established Antarctica was a continent. Palmer's verse, 'the earliest published Antarctic poetry' (Rosove) is followed by an appendix describing the journey of the schooner Flying-Fish during the Expedition. In his manuscript notes Palmer writes that 'although I was not aboard the Flying-fish, I was surgeon of the Peacock, and had experiences exactly like those of our consort, even to the awful scene of forcing through the ice-barrier', elsewhere discussing the illustrations ('The background is properly accurate, but the floe-ice far too regular: it was a shapeless mass...'), the poem (linking verses to actual events), and recording that a song had been sung 'with great noise, on the forecastle of the U.S. Ship Peacock, by Jim Bobstay, Boats Mate'. Loosely inserted is an autograph letter signed ('Jas C. Palmer') to a Mr. Rodgers, written whilst serving as a member of the Mediterranean Squadron, from the USS Macedonia whilst docked at New Haven, discussing a tempestuous voyage.
