@Cuirassier23 How funny... I just finished reading "The Terror" ad I ended up reading your comment on here. By the way, you are absolutely right. Great, compelling reading.
-
@TigerRifle1 Yeah, but still those were boats without cabins and those sailors were rowing.
-
Im reading Terror all over again, I would love to see the movie made from this book.

Thanks for sharing Steve!

I'd do anything just to go and sit on that rock beside the graves. I'm obsessed with this Expedition, and I agree with Cuirassier23. "The Terror" is a very well written book!
-
@CroMarduk Because they sailed to Greenland during a warming trend and barely sailed above the arctic circle.
-
@TigerRifle1 really, how do you know that.
-
@CroMarduk they didn't sail through pack ice during the little ice age.

does anyone know where the "franklin's expedition" video went to? If not, can anyone tell me the name so I can find it? It really was a good documentary - not that this one isnt - however it was really informative, and had a few more theories on the fate if the expedition! can anyone help me?
I'd recommend any interested in Franklin's quest for the Northwest Passage to read Dan Simmons novel, "The Terror", for an excellent historical fiction account on the Expedition.
