A series of slight sketches of... H.M.S. Terror... 1836, 1837 while on a voyage to ascertain the existance of a North West Passage, by Lieutenant Owen Stanley, 1836-1837

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.

James 'The Frenchman' Fitzjames meets Terror

His messmates called him the Frenchman because he was fluent in French.
