The Tragic Story of John Franklin: The Arctic Mystery That Haunted the World for 170 Years
In 1845, Sir John Franklin led two state-of-the-art ships and 129 men into the Arctic to find the Northwest Passage—and vanished without a trace. For over 170 years, the mystery haunted explorers, vindicated Inuit testimonies of cannibalism and death marches, and wasn't solved until both shipwrecks were discovered on the ocean floor in 2014 and 2016. This is the complete story of history's greatest polar disaster, from the expedition's confident departure to the final desperate moments of men dying in the ice. 📚 You can find all sources used in this video here:
