This watercolour and pen sketch by Graham Gore, titled "Blazer taking HMS Erebus in Tow, 31 May 1845, 6PM," is a mesmerizing glimpse into the past of polar exploration. The image, held in the esteemed collection of the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge, offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in maritime history. The HMS Erebus, a sturdy British Royal Navy vessel, is depicted being towed by the smaller, yet tenacious Blazer. The sun is setting on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the icy waters of the Arctic. The Erebus, with its tall, majestic masts and intricate rigging, stands proud against the backdrop of the vast, open sea. The Blazer, a schooner, is seen in the foreground, its sails billowing in the wind as it pulls the larger ship forward. The date, 31 May 1845, marks the beginning of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to discover the Northwest Passage. This image captures the moment of departure, as the fleet sets sail from Greenhithe, England, on their journey into the unknown. The expedition would ultimately end in tragedy, with the loss of all but 15 of the 129 men aboard the Erebus and her sister ship, the Terror. Despite the tragic outcome, this sketch serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of those who dared to explore the world's most inhospitable environments. The intricate details of the ships, the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, and the sense of movement and energy conveyed by the artist make this a truly captivating piece of maritime history.
