Captain Francis Crozier of HMS Terror, 1845

Engraving of Captain Francis Crozier (1796-1848) of HMS Terror, pictured shortly before departing on the ill-fated Franklin Arctic expedition of 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 the stoic figure of Captain Francis Crozier, commander of HMS Terror, as he prepares to embark on the ill-fated Franklin Arctic expedition of 1845. Alongside Sir John Franklin, Crozier led a crew on a mission to discover the Northwest Passage through the icy waters of northern Canada. However, tragedy struck when both ships became trapped in ice near King William Island. As supplies dwindled and conditions worsened, the surviving crew made the heartbreaking decision to abandon ship and trek southward in search of safety. Despite numerous relief expeditions sent out over the years, it wasn't until 1859 that Francis Leopold McClintock confirmed their grim fate - none had survived. The haunting image of Captain Crozier serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who ventured into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
