Chris,
 
Sorry, I have no idea. Perhaps members of the Jules Verne forum have
heard something. Can any of you help Chris with his inquiry?

Nansen called his boat FRAM. This is Norwegian for Forward. I presume
that he was influenced by the Jules Verne story of Hatteras going to the
North Pole. But nowhere in any book by or on Nansen can I find this
connection, which seems obvious unless pure coincidence. Nansen was
highly intelligent and educated and would probably have read it in
French / English. Have you come across such a connection? Any info. woul
delight me, Chris FitzHugh of Nottingham, UK
