Description: Tracking the Franklin Expedition of 1845 : The Facts and Mysteries of the Failed Northwest Passage Voyage, Paperback by Zorn, Stephen, ISBN 147669219X, ISBN-13 9781476692197, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "The Franklin Northwest Passage Expedition of 1845 is perhaps the greatest disaster in the history of exploration-all 129 men vanished, as did the expedition's two ships, HMS Erebus and Terror. Over the next 150 years, searchers found bones, clothing anda variety of relics. Inuit narratives provided some of the details of what happened to the frozen, starving sailors after they deserted their ice-locked ships in 1848. Then, in 2014 and 2016, Canadian researchers found the sunken wrecks themselves, not far from the bleak, windswept King William Island in the Arctic. At last, the mystery of the Franklin Expedition would be solved. Or would it? This book pulls together the various searchers' discoveries; the many recent scientific studies that shed light on when, how and why the men died (and whether, in extremis, they ate each other); and illuminates what we know, and what we don't and may never know, about the fate of the expedition, a mystery that may never be fully solved."--
