The Lost Franklin Expedition

Показать описание
In 1845 two ships under the command of Captain Sir John Franklin set off on the best resourced and most scientifically advanced mission ever undertaken. The mission, to find and conquer the famous North-West Passage. Confidence among the crew, the Admiralty, and the country was high that the way through to the fertile trading regions of Asia would be found, but Franklin and his 128 men were never heard from again. What happened? What went so wrong?

Great lecture. I always like when new perspectives can be applied to a subject so well documented.

I suspect the men brought some of those seemingly useless items in the hopes they might trade for food if they encountered any Inuit.

Why were there a disproportionate number of dead officers in the Cairn letter, when crozier abandoned the ships?

Are there any clues as to how Franklin died? Have any log books or other clues been retrieved from the sunken ships yet?

Do you have a link to the RCMP experiment? I can't find it. Thanks. Great video!
