Synopsis
In his later years, Samuel Hearne (who died in 1792) met Samuel Taylor Coleridge and recounted the adventures that Coleridge would use as the basis for "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Those adventures began when he was a 12-year-old midshipman in the British navy, fighting against France. As his career progressed, he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company and traveled across the New World into the arctic regions in search of sites for copper mining. Hearne was eventually captured by the French during the American Revolution, ending his years in London, publishing his journals and serving as the inspiration for one of Coleridge's greatest poems.
