Captain James Fitzjamess Cabin aboard HMS Erebus, 1845
Engraving showing Captain James Fitzjamess cabin aboard HMS Erebus, pictured shortly before departure, 1845. In 1845 the British Admiralty sent two polar exploration ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, to look for the Northwest passage round the northern coast of Canada. The expedition, commanded by Sir John Franklin, disappeared from view late in 1845 and none of the men were ever seen again. In fact the ships made it to the King William Island region, then got stuck in the ice. With supplies running out the surviving crew abandoned ship and headed south. However, none made it to safety and it is assumed all died from disease, exposure or starvation. From 1848 onwards a number of relief expeditions were sent to find Franklin, but it was only in 1859 that Francis Leopold McClintock was able to confirm Franklins fate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures a poignant moment in the ill-fated expedition of Captain James Fitzjames aboard HMS Erebus in 1845. The image shows his cabin shortly before departure, as he and his crew set out on a mission to find the Northwest Passage. Little did they know that this journey would end in tragedy, with the ships becoming trapped in ice and all men perishing from disease, exposure, or starvation.
The story of Sir John Franklin's lost expedition has captured the imagination of historians and explorers for decades. Despite numerous relief expeditions sent to find them, it wasn't until 1859 that Francis Leopold McClintock was able to confirm their fate. The bravery and determination of these men in the face of such adversity is both inspiring and heartbreaking.
As we look at this engraving today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in search of knowledge and discovery. It serves as a somber reminder of the dangers faced by early explorers in their quest for new lands and routes. May their legacy live on through stories like this one, preserving their memory for generations to come.
