What Really Happened to the Franklin Expedition? (Full Story)
In 1845, Britain sent its finest ships and 129 of its best men into the Arctic to complete the Northwest Passage. None of them came home. This is the full story of the Franklin Expedition — from the ship's departure in 1845, through the search that followed, the Inuit testimony the British refused to believe, the chilling note found on King William Island, and the modern science that finally revealed what killed the crew: lead poisoning, starvation, scurvy, and cannibalism. In 2014 and 2016, the wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were finally found — almost 170 years after they vanished.
