In 1897, the whaling ship Belvidere found itself frozen in arctic waters. Against all odds, George Fred Tilton trudged thousands of miles across the ice to get help.

Notes
Nearly all the research for this one comes straight out of the highly-readable,
Cap’n George Fred, G.F. Tilton’s 1925 autobiography. I got my copy at a used bookstore for $11. It’s easy to find on eBay and Amazon and whatnot. Totally money well spent.
