  • This is a great song and I appreciate the vid, but why are all the photos from the Shackleton expedition, if the song is about J. Torrington, who was part of an earlier Franklin expedition?

  • @quinnhk Artistic/historical license :) This is a tribute to the "Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration". The photos are not limited to Shackleton's expeditions. JT's 'Frozen Man' just struck me as very fitting for the theme (I also considered using Al Stewart's 'Antarctica').

  • Wonderful tune. Intriguing story, and, of course, in the news recently. I really like the version from the "one man band" album.

  • Excellent Video.

    It's baised on a series of photos of Petty Officer John Torrington, the Leading Stoker of HMS Terror during the disasterous 1845 Franklin Expedition. When his grave was excavated the archeologists weren't prepared for what they found, his body (along with the other two on Beechey Island) were so well preserved that they looked pretty much how they did on the day they died in 1846, the song is about the images of Torrington's body and how he looks as if he could still be alive
