Two vessels named “H. M.S. Terror” and “Erebus” were left in the Northwest Passage in 1845 but not before the crews suffered lead poison and botulism — and they cannibalized each other before the freezing to death. Now, a closer look is on one of those vessels.
Parks Canada archaeologists recently used underwater drones to explore the wreck of the aptly named H.M.S. Terror. according to National Geographic. Discovered in 2016 off King William Island in the Canadian north, the ship and its contents have not yet been properly studied until now, 174 years after it sank.
I stand corrected ....it does look like a log pimp
I was ignorant of that fact. I confess I’m not a master of detecting blog primping
My ire wasn’t directly simply at you for the record
I had read bout Franklin and his wife’s unsuccessful attempts to have him rescued and I watched the miniseries which was dismal to say the least
Jared Harris nailed Crozier
Ciaran Hinds as Franklin nails any part he gets
Richard Harris’s son was the captain in that series,also starred in this year’s big hit Chernobyl.
The tinned food stores had lead in them.
One of the books about this, Ice Ghosts, is pretty interesting. It may have been written before they got these inside camera views, as I don’t remember the author mentioning it.
Thank you, and no offense taken. Years ago, when PBS was actually sometimes pretty good, there was a documentary (revolved around reenactment, a little lame usually, but well done) about Charles Francis Hall, an American explorer who searched unsuccessfully for traces of Franklin and his men.
He's posted a link from a recent article........I don't get it, what's your point?.........Sheesh!
Read the rest of this topic, if you don't, you have no point.
I recall reading in Nat Geo about the frozen body of the young sailor that was found.
Hard to believe that was 35 years ago.
Where does the time go?
Chuckle... I remember sitting in the movie theater with the girlfriend du jure, and when the dog pen change scene came on, the ENTIRE theater just LOST it.
Just screaming. It was hilarious, the reactions. And it was because the dogs were getting attacked.
It’s OK for monsters to kill humans, but DO NOT HURT the Mutt in a movie, Ever...
