#erebus & terror

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.

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 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

And now for something completely different

#fitzjames and crozier actually having a nice time #james fitzjames #francis crozier #fitzier #the terror fanart #the terror #amc the terror #the terror amc #my drawings #i don’t know if this is them on their way back home after being rescued #(quite a bit after since they don’t look like they’re dying still— so they’re at least mostly recovered) #or if this is them having a rare nice time together on the way there #before the show even starts #anyway i used the Erebus newspaper sketch as reference for the background #so they’re in a ship anyway #whichever one you choose is entirely up to you
