Description
Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition by Paul Watson A fast-paced detective story spanning nearly 200 years, Ice Ghosts weaves together an epic account of the legendary Franklin Expedition with the modern tale of recent discoveries. In 2014, a team led by journalist Paul Watson made headlines when they discovered the HMS Erebus, and in 2016, he broke news of the discovery of the HMS Terror. The story begins with Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the fabled Northwest Passage, followed by hundreds of years of search expeditions that collectively have been called "the most extensive, expensive, perverse, and ill-starred manhunt in history." The hunt turned up a legendary trail of sailors' relics, a fabled note, and rumors of cannibalism, but no sign of the ships until recent discoveries. Watson reveals how the epic hunt for the lost Franklin Expedition finally found success when searchers combined the latest marine science with faith in Inuit lore passed down orally for generations.
