As a result, Captain Constantine John Phipps of the Royal Navy set out in April, 1773, "to try how far navigation was practicable towards the North Pole." Though Phipps' voyage primarily sought the extension of geographical knowledge, it also amassed natural historical, astronomical, and navigational data.
Phipps, however, complained that if scientific observations had been more than a secondary consideration, they might have been "more numerous and satisfactory." While geography, natural history, and astronomy dominated the observational efforts, Phipps also took an interest in magnetism.
During the late eighteenth century, Greenland whalers and navigators including Phipps and Cook had described the unsteady movements of the compass, the increase of dip, and the large variations of high latitudes.

In 1766 he obtained permission for himself and Constantine John Phipps, a naval officer and former school-friend, to travel as passengers to Newfoundland in the Niger, part of the squadron of Governor Hugh Palliser*.
When Phipps, his companion on the Niger, was commissioned the same year to search for a passage northeast to India by way of the Arctic, Banks gave him a long list of desiderata: he needed information on bird and fish migrations, sea water, and ocean currents, and he asked for biological specimens.
      While Phipps was away on his voyage in 1773 Banks took an active part in the running of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (London), work that was to result in the development of the gardens as a great storehouse of living plants from all over the world.

In the Baron's visit to Gibraltar we have evidence that the anonymous writer, in common with the rest of the reading public, had been studying John Drinkwater's "History of the Siege of Gibraltar" (completed in 1783), which had with extreme rapidity established its reputation as a military classic.
Similarly, in the Polar adventures, the "Voyage towards the North Pole," 1774, of Constantine John Phipps, afterwards Lord Mulgrave, is gently ridiculed, and so also some incidents from Patrick Brydone's "Tour through Sicily and Malta" (1773), are, for no obvious reason, contemptuously dragged in.
