#HMS Erebus

Comparisons of the same areas aboard the HMS Erebus wreck (left) and the HMS Terror wreck (right)

HMS Terror is in pristine condition and I get so excited thinking about what we'll learn once Parks Canada is able to more fully explore the wreck and gather more artifacts. I believe they'll be doing more work on Terror this year if weather permits.

the royal navy was like for real though its fucking baller and not ironic at all that we sent these ships named [ancient god of darkness] and [most severe form of fear] to check out the last unexplored bit of a place that eats ships and doesn’t have sun for half the year i’m sure nothing bad will happen to them

It's Franklin Expedition day! HMS Erebus and Terror departed Greenhithe, Kent one hundred and seventy-eight years ago today, on 19th May 1845.

The contemporary illustration of the expedition departing in The Illustrated London News:

In the last few days before he sailed, Franklin may have experienced a premonition of his fate. Suffering from the flu, he was resting at home with his wife, Jane, who had just finished sewing a silk Union Jack for him to take. Concerned about his illness, she draped the flag over his legs for warmth. He sprang to his feet: “There’s a flag thrown over me! Don’t you know that they lay the Union Jack over a corpse?” But on Sunday 18 May, the eve of his departure, with his wife and daughter present, the profoundly religious Franklin read Divine Service for the first time to his crews. And when the expedition sailed from the Thames the next morning, carrying 134 officers and men, most felt the Franklin expedition could not fail.

HMS Erebus passing through the chain of bergs, 13 Mar 1842, by John E. Davis, 1842

The Erebus is shown with the Terror when, during the Antarctic expedition in 1842 commanded by Captain James Clark Ross, they forced their way through the ice pack. The artist was 2nd Master of the Terror.

the "Glorious First of June" ball in Hobart in 1841 was truly glorious, it seems. Terror and Erebus were each at her best.

but well, it also seems that social gatherings are quite tiresome for Captains Ross and Crozier – some more dancing rounds and they need a peaceful corner to rest their eyes a little from all the bright lights.
