The Lost Franklin Expedition

- In 1845 two ships under the command of Captain Sir John Franklin set off on the best resourced and most scientifically advanced mission ever undertaken. The mission, to find and conquer the famous North-West Passage. Confidence among the crew, the Admiralty, and the country was high that the way through to the fertile trading regions of Asia would be found, but Franklin and his 128 men were never heard from again. What happened? What went so wrong?
Great lecture. I always like when new perspectives can be applied to a subject so well documented.
I suspect the men brought some of those seemingly useless items in the hopes they might trade for food if they encountered any Inuit.
Fantastic video. Thx !
Well done documentary on this subject. Thank you for sharing your work putting this together. I learned much
Glad you enjoyed it
Why were there a disproportionate number of dead officers in the Cairn letter, when crozier abandoned the ships?
Do you have a link to the RCMP experiment? I can't find it. Thanks. Great video!

Are there any clues as to how Franklin died? Have any log books or other clues been retrieved from the sunken ships yet?
Hi Lawrence. No clues yet but he wasn't a well man at the best of times. One theory is that the officers had a different diet than the men and may have been impacted more by the lead in the water. No log books have been recovered to date.
Tuunbaq apparently.
Both ships have been found with various dives into and around the ships. I wish they could let us into what has been found and if indeed any written logs have been found. Surely after all the time they spent stuck in the ice, some of the crew, if not the upper class would have left some letters or information as to what happened. If they local government who manage the dives found any evidence, do you think they would let this information out. What if written logs say things about being attacked by local Inuits etc. I have seen lots of comments on Franklin videos where some people seem to think the crews of both ships were picked off by local Inuits who saw these Europeans as a threat. I have never looked at it this way but I guess this could be true, although oral tradition doesn’t seem to back this up.
59 and overweight if I went there in the same circumstances death would be certain for sure no mystery really
