Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Search for Sir John Franklin: A Lecture Delivered at the Russell Institution, January 15, 1851 It is not without some sorrow and regret that I address you; for in undertaking to guide you for a brief space of time through the intricacies of the Arctic Seas explored by our countrymen, you may well conceive how much more agreeable my task would be, were it in my power to show you how the fortitude and heroism of British seamen had triumphed over formidable difficulties, and had rescued from the icy jaws of death that gallant band who adventured forth in the fulness of hope to add renown to their country by discovering the North-West Passage.

Book excerpt: The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly). The men on board the HMS Terror — part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage — are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in. “The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years.” —Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe
Download or read book Unravelling the Franklin Mystery written by David C. Woodman and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Woodman's reconstruction of the mysterious events surrounding the disappearance of two British exploration vessels in 1845, under the command of Sir John Franklin, challenges standard interpretations and promises to replace them. Among the many who have tried to discover the truth behind the Franklin disaster, Woodman recognizes the profound importance of the Inuit testimony and analyzes it in depth. He concludes from his investigations that the Inuit probably did visit Franklin's ships while the crew was still on board and that there were some Inuit who actually saw the sinking of one of the ships. He maintains that fewer than ten bodies were found at Starvation Cove and that the last survivors left the cove in 1851, three years after the standard account assumes them to be dead. Woodman also disputes the conclusion of Owen Beattie and John Geiger's book Frozen in Time that lead-poisoning was a major contributing cause of the disaster.
