Description

Sir John Franklin's Erebus and Terror Expedition Lost and Found by Gillian Hutchinson In 1845, British explorer Sir John Franklin embarked on a perilous voyage to find the North-West Passage. The expedition's fate remains shrouded in mystery, with the two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, and their 129 crew members disappearing in the Arctic. The last Europeans to see them alive were the crews of two whaling ships in Baffin Bay in July 1845. The loss of this British hero and his crew sparked a series of rescue expeditions and searches that captivated the public imagination. Recent discoveries in the Arctic, including the wrecks of Erebus and Terror in 2014 and 2016, have shed new light on the events of 170 years ago. This book provides a detailed account of the Franklin expedition, exploring the themes of heroism, endurance, tragedy, and dark desperation. Richly illustrated, this book offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating and complex period in history.
