hello everybody today we are going to be00:00:02
talking about the story of one of the00:00:04
doomed voyages in humanity's twilight00:00:06
days of exploration and that is the00:00:09
failed journey of the franklin00:00:11
expedition and its ships the hms erebus00:00:14
and the hms terror i've always loved00:00:16
this story because it's one of the last00:00:18
cases of adventure and exploration and00:00:21
serves as a testimony of what that00:00:23
adventure can lead to now this story may00:00:25
be familiar to you if you saw the amc00:00:28
miniseries the terror which was about00:00:31
the franklin expedition however that00:00:33
took a few creative liberties with the00:00:35
story and i want to tell you about the00:00:37
true story or at least the story that00:00:39
was pieced together by the evidence i'm00:00:41
going to talk about now there's also00:00:43
been some other youtubers who have done00:00:44
a fantastic job of covering this story00:00:47
as well like history buffs who compared00:00:49
the real life accounts to the accounts00:00:51
of the tv show and maritime which00:00:53
is quickly becoming one of my favorite00:00:55
youtube channels i'm going to include00:00:57
those videos down below as well as some00:00:59
of the others that i really enjoy but if00:01:01
you want to hear much better accounts00:01:03
and representations of those stories00:01:05
than whatever i can manage check them00:01:07
out in the description two quick thanks00:01:09
before we get started for one i am back00:01:11
to the blue yeti mic as you can see and00:01:13
i'm trying out a lot of different00:01:15
settings with my camera i've heard you00:01:16
guys in the past video saying that the00:01:18
lighting was weird and the audio was00:01:19
weird and i'm really dumb to all this00:01:22
and trying to teach myself with youtube00:01:23
videos so honestly let me know how this00:01:26
looks and how it sounds because i'm00:01:28
trying my best and also if you're a00:01:30
patron stick around to the end of the00:01:32
video during the end credits i want to00:01:34
make one last announcement for00:01:36
everything that i mentioned on the00:01:38
patreon lately so stay tuned for that00:01:40
and for everyone else hopefully you want00:01:42
to stick around as we talk about one of00:01:45
the final stories of humanity's desire00:01:48
to explore the earth but before we get00:01:50
into a story of adventure and excitement00:01:52
let's talk about something that isn't00:01:54
exciting and that's having your personal00:01:56
data stolen but thanks to today's00:01:58
sponsor you'll never have to worry about00:02:00
that again with atlas vpn atlas vpn is a00:02:04
fantastic digital tool that hides your00:02:06
location and keeps your information00:02:09
secure whenever you're browsing the00:02:10
internet whenever you log on to one of00:02:12
atlas's servers your ip and dns address00:02:15
are passed through their system before00:02:17
it's passed on to the rest of the web so00:02:19
if anyone tries to search for your00:02:21
information it will get jammed up by00:02:24
atlas's system and you'll be completely00:02:26
hidden but on top of that atlas's user00:02:28
interface is very user friendly and has00:02:31
a series of other tools that can also00:02:33
help you when browsing the web like for00:02:35
example atlas has something called a00:02:37
data breach monitor which if you've ever00:02:40
heard someone say that your email and00:02:42
password may be part of a hack or leak00:02:44
that's happened you can go to atlas vpn00:02:47
put in your email address and it will00:02:49
tell you if any of your information has00:02:51
fallen into the wrong hands so rather00:02:53
than just being afraid all the time if00:02:55
your information's out there on the web00:02:56
somewhere you can go through atlas and00:02:58
know for sure another cool feature about00:03:00
atlas is you can use it to change your00:03:03
digital location so for example say that00:03:06
you want to watch something on netflix00:03:07
but the movie or show that you're00:03:09
looking for isn't available in your00:03:10
country all you have to do is go to00:03:12
atlas vpn and change your address to one00:03:16
of their servers in another country and00:03:18
then whenever you go to netflix and00:03:20
reload it you will have their entire00:03:22
catalog for that country meaning you can00:03:25
essentially stream the web from any part00:03:27
of the world you wish atlas vpn is also00:03:30

description you will be able to get00:03:45
their plan for 82 percent off that's00:03:49
right if you go to the link in the00:03:50
description you will be able to get00:03:51
everything i just mentioned from the00:03:53
internet privacy to the email protection00:03:56
as well as the server location change00:03:58

all enjoyed again check them out in the00:04:13
description and we are back to the video00:04:15
we are going to go ahead and get into it00:04:16
but as always00:04:19
thank you for watching to really00:04:20
understand the importance of the00:04:21
franklin expedition there's a little bit00:04:23
of history that goes into it see for a00:04:25
really long time europe was trying to00:04:28
find some means of travel between00:04:30
themselves and asia because if someone00:04:33
wanted to go from say england to china00:04:35
it was a several year expedition that00:04:37
made them loop all the way around the00:04:39
bottom of africa because the suez canal00:04:41
had not yet been invented however once00:04:43
the americas were discovered people00:04:45
figured out that the globe was a bit00:04:47
bigger than they initially thought it00:04:48
was so people at the time began00:04:50
speculating perhaps there is a path to00:04:52
asia if one were to travel north00:04:55
specifically north through the arctic00:04:57
around the north pole and down south00:05:00
into asia if this theory were true it00:05:02
would save literally years of time00:05:04
during travel as well as the lives of00:05:07
the people who died aboard ships making00:05:09
these long voyages in the late 1700s the00:05:12
hudson bay company made several00:05:14
expeditions around the coast of canada00:05:16
trying to find an inlet that they think00:05:18
could get them to pass across into asia00:05:21
at the time no one really understood the00:05:24
westward to eastward expanse of the00:05:26
americas and people were kind of testing00:05:28
the shores to see if there was any00:05:30
breakage that they could drop south00:05:32
through and in the 1800s the secretary00:05:35
of the admiralty which is basically00:05:37
england's navy at the time was00:05:39
determined that there was a passage near00:05:41
the north pole in 1845 sir john barrow00:05:45
was 82 years old and at the end of his00:05:47
career he was determined to commission00:05:50
the first travel from europe to asia00:05:53
through the north pole and so barrow set00:05:55
about in finding the best captain for00:05:57
the job who could man such a dangerous00:05:59
voyage the first two captains that he00:06:01
selected each turned him down because00:06:04
while both of them were very experienced00:06:06
with the arctic they have both sworn off00:06:10
ever traveling north again see traveling00:06:12
to the arctic by ship at the time was00:06:15
not only an incredibly dangerous journey00:06:18
but a terrifying one whenever it became00:06:20
winter near the north pole the oceans00:06:23
would begin to freeze on the several00:06:25
inlets that the ships would travel00:06:27
through or in other words you could be00:06:29
sailing for a year and then be stuck for00:06:32
half a year as the water freezes around00:06:34
you where you have to wait for it to00:06:36
thaw and you continue sailing into the00:06:38
nothingness of ice and water as i00:06:41
mentioned in the decades leading up to00:06:43
this expedition there were several other00:06:46
attempts to try to get through the00:06:47
arctic passage and most of them ended00:06:49
with the ship turning around after about00:06:52
a year and a half and even then with00:06:54
several of the crew members dying of00:06:57
either food poisoning or hypothermia or00:07:00
pneumonia and the other various diseases00:07:03
you could die of at the time as well as00:07:05
many sailors reporting to have gone mad00:07:08
due to the isolation of the north pole00:07:11
or technically northern canada not quite00:07:13
the north pole but00:07:15
i mean like00:07:16
it's just like infinite eyes you00:07:18
couldn't tell the difference anyway the00:07:19
third pick for the job was a sailor by00:07:21
the name of francis crozier he had taken00:07:24
many trips to the arctic was well00:07:26
experienced liked by the admiralty and00:07:29
was up for doing it again it sounds like00:07:32
the perfect option however crozier was00:07:35
irish and it was a big deal for the00:07:37
british government at the time that it00:07:39
needs to be a thoroughbred member of00:07:42
british royalty who makes the first00:07:44
expedition the fourth pick for the00:07:46
option was a captain by the name of00:07:48
james fitz james and yes that was his00:07:50
real name and while he did fit the00:07:52
criteria of being of british upper class00:07:54
he wasn't that experienced with sailing00:07:57
especially not in the arctic so he was00:07:59
passed up as well the man who would00:08:01
eventually lead this expedition was00:08:04
barrow's fifth pick for the job captain00:08:06
john franklin john franklin was of00:08:09
british upper class and a sort of00:08:10
celebrity amongst the sailors of the00:08:12
time he was incredibly kind to sailors00:08:15
who worked under him and was also a00:08:17
religious leader who would regularly00:08:19
lead sermons and pray with the men00:08:21
aboard his ships his wife lady jane00:08:24
franklin was also a well-loved figure in00:08:27
england and the two of them were known00:08:28
for being very philanthropic and giving00:08:31
to local charities and schools and00:08:34
things of the like so to most of the00:08:36
british public captain franklin seemed00:08:38
like a natural fit so why was he the00:08:40
admiralty's fifth choice well captain00:08:42
franklin was second in command during00:08:45
another arctic expedition in 1818 and he00:08:48
was also a part of two separate canadian00:08:51
expeditions in the decades that followed00:08:54
keep in mind any one of these00:08:55
expeditions would take a few years at00:08:58
least well one of these expeditions00:09:00
ended in disaster when the crew00:09:02
essentially became lost and their food00:09:04
provisions ran out as a matter of fact00:09:07
according to sailors during this time00:09:10
franklin's crew became so desperate for00:09:12
food that they began cutting and eating00:09:14
the leather of their own boots to which00:09:17
franklin was given the nickname by some00:09:19
sailors the man who ate his own boot00:09:21
however because of his pleasant demeanor00:09:23
and place in british society he was00:09:26
again the fifth choice of the admiralty00:09:29
and he readily accepted the job some00:09:31
historians say that perhaps he took it00:09:33
in haste because he was trying to make00:09:35
up for the shame of being called you00:09:37
know the man that ate his own boot00:09:39
however even if this were the case he00:09:41
was incredibly careful and lighthearted00:09:44
around the people in the crew and00:09:46
throughout the entire expedition i could00:09:48
find no one writing of ill will about00:09:50
him the expedition was to occur across00:09:53
two ships and to make sure that00:09:54
everything went well the aforementioned00:09:57
third and fourth choices were also made00:09:59
a part of the expedition franklin00:10:01
himself was set to captain the hms00:10:04
erebus while francis crozier the third00:10:07
choice i mentioned earlier who was00:10:08
knocked out of the league because he was00:10:10
irish was given command of the hms00:10:13
terror and named executive officer of00:10:16
the expedition and the fourth choice the00:10:18
young captain james fitch james was00:10:20
named as franklin's second in command00:10:23
aboard the erebus itself the government00:10:25
naturally felt better that even though00:10:27
their fifth option was the one leading00:10:29
the charge the third and fourth options00:10:31
were right there with him franklin's00:10:33
ship the erebus and crozier's ship the00:10:36
terror had each been a part of arctic00:10:38
expeditions from 1841 to 1844. now you00:10:42
may be thinking it's probably in bad00:10:44
faith to name a series of expedition00:10:46
ships the terror and the erebus which00:10:49
erebus comes from greek mythology as00:10:52
being the dark ring around hades itself00:10:56
well the reason that the two ships00:10:57
renamed that is because they were each00:10:59
originally part of the british military00:11:01
as a matter of fact the terror was in00:11:04
the war of 1812 and took part in the00:11:07
attack on fort mchenry which was the00:11:10
battle in which francis scott key wrote00:11:12
america's national anthem they were each00:11:14
massive ships with the erebus weighing00:11:17
378 tons and the terror weighing in at00:11:21
331 tons the ships at the time were also00:11:24
state of the art they were lined with00:11:26
these iron bands and reinforced walls00:11:30
and the propellers and rudders even had00:11:32
a function where a latch could be pulled00:11:34
and they would fold inside of the ship00:11:37
that way if you pass through a lot of00:11:38
ice it could just bump off the iron and00:11:40
you wouldn't worry about knocking00:11:42
anything off the ships were also ahead00:11:43
of their time in that they had steam00:11:46
engines inside of them which had been00:11:48
taken off of trains so if you were at00:11:50
open sea and there were no winds you00:11:52
could still move by bringing in salt00:11:54
water purifying it and then using it to00:11:58
burn steam and power the ship it even00:12:00
had a heating system that was piped00:12:02
throughout the ship which again in 184500:12:06
was a huge deal in the months before the00:12:08
departure the men were essentially seen00:12:11
as astronauts they were hailed as being00:12:14
the brave people who are going to step00:12:16
out and change our way of life as we00:12:18
know it and as historians have noted an00:12:21
astronaut is given their spaceship and00:12:23
the terror and erebus served as00:12:25
spaceships of their time now it turned00:12:28
out that the construction of their ships00:12:30
ended up being part of the problem down00:12:32
the road but right now i'm talking about00:12:34
the fun lighthearted stuff we'll talk00:12:36
about the death and destruction in a00:12:37
little bit lady franklin was incredibly00:12:40
proud of her husband and as soon as the00:12:41
officers of the voyage were announced00:12:44
she made all of them get their picture00:12:46
taken which was a brand new technology00:12:48
at the time she also bought her husband00:12:50
a pet monkey named jaco who was to00:12:53
accompany them on their journey in the00:12:55
meantime captain crozier of the terror00:12:57
brought along his new foundlin dog by00:12:59
the name of neptune the ships also had a00:13:02
cat on board however that's less00:13:03
remarkable as that was kind of a00:13:05
necessity at the time because you know00:13:08
if you were out there for three years00:13:09
and then mice destroyed your food supply00:13:12
that would be bad each ship also left00:13:14
with over 1 000 books in their00:13:16
respective libraries as well as00:13:19
different sporting effects because you00:13:22
know if your ship is stopped in the00:13:23
middle of the ice and it's so thick that00:13:26
you can get out and walk on it00:13:28
so that way you don't lose your mind00:13:30
it's probably a good idea to like play a00:13:32
few games while you're out there each00:13:34
ship was also equipped with several00:13:36
barrels of liquor and two tons of00:13:38
tobacco again not to ship or haul any of00:13:41
it this is just so the sailors don't go00:13:43
crazy they even left with different00:13:45
costumes and fancy clothes so that way00:13:48
if they were bored they could put on00:13:50
plays for each other i should also00:13:52
mention that the men of the erebus would00:13:55
cut up the costumes and make tiny00:13:57
costumes for jacko another recent00:13:59
invention that was a very big deal at00:14:02
the time was that of canned food see it00:14:04
had always been an issue historically of00:14:07
keeping food so that it doesn't go bad00:14:09
so the fact that you could seal and00:14:11
preserve it was a huge deal on00:14:13
expeditions like this however what came00:14:15
to light after all of this is that the00:14:17
british government hired the lowest00:14:20
bidder to make over 8 000 tins of food00:14:24
about seven weeks before the ships were00:14:26
set to set sail this became a problem00:14:29
that i'll talk about in a little bit00:14:30
also the other food source was cattle00:14:33
because this ship was so big they would00:14:35
just straight up bring cattle on board00:14:38
which i mean00:14:39
if you don't have a refrigerator i guess00:14:41
you just let the00:14:42
steak00:14:43
refrigerate itself until you need it00:14:45
despite all these preparations however00:14:48
only six men of the 13400:14:51
man crew had any experience with the00:14:53
arctic nevertheless on may the 19th of00:14:56
1845 the franklin expedition set sail00:15:00
from england the crew consisted of 2400:15:03
officers and 110 sailors they made a00:15:06
brief stop in scotland as the barretto00:15:08
jr and hms rattler accompanied them to00:15:11
the coast of greenland at this point the00:15:13
rattler transferred over the last of the00:15:15
supplies that the men would need and00:15:17
took back five sailors from the erebus00:15:20
and terror who had become sick during00:15:22
their journey these five are the only00:15:24
survivors of the franklin expedition as00:15:27
the rattler departed it also took the00:15:29
final letters of the men that were to be00:15:32
sent home back to england in franklin's00:15:34
14-page letter to his wife he had said00:15:37
that spirits were high and although he00:15:39
had banned drunkenness and swearing00:15:41
amongst the crew they still seemed to00:15:43
enjoy his company he also mentioned that00:15:45
jaco was stealing several trinkets from00:15:48
the men but they all thought he was cute00:15:50
so they didn't care from all of the00:15:52
letters that were sent that day everyone00:15:54
seemed to be in good hopes and thought00:15:56
that the journey would turn out well in00:15:58
july of 1845 a whaling ship passed the00:16:02
terror and the erebus at the baffin bay00:16:04
as the whaling ship was heading back to00:16:06
england and the expedition was working00:16:09
its way closer to the canadian arctic00:16:12
the sighting of the whaling ship is the00:16:14
last time that any of the crew were ever00:16:16
seen alive at least officially but we'll00:16:19
get there now before i get into theories00:16:21
and talking about what happened to the00:16:23
expedition specifically through00:16:24
discoveries that were made let's talk00:16:27
about what led up to those discoveries00:16:29
see this voyage in particular was00:16:31
supposed to take about a year and a half00:16:34
so when 1847 rolled around and there was00:16:37
no word from any ships that had seen him00:16:40
or any letters conveyed back home people00:16:43
started to worry and one of those people00:16:45
was lady franklin herself whenever she00:16:48
brought her concerns to the admiralty00:16:50
they said that they were unfounded so00:16:52
franklin in an attempt to find out of00:16:55
her husband's whereabouts began to amass00:16:57
people and committees in order to get00:17:00
the state to do something to which her00:17:02
friend charles dickens began writing in00:17:04
the paper urging the public to say00:17:06
something about the missing franklin00:17:08
expedition eventually the government did00:17:10
and sent two sea expeditions and one00:17:13
land expedition across northern canada00:17:16
to look for any sign of the crew00:17:18
furthermore the state put out a twenty00:17:20
thousand pound reward for anyone who00:17:22
could find the crew which by today's00:17:24
money is about two million and thanks to00:17:27
no small part to lady franklin's urging00:17:29
it became a matter of public interest of00:17:32
what became of the expedition itself a00:17:35
song even became popular at the time00:17:37
known as lady franklin's lament00:17:39
eventually the search party found some00:17:42
sign of the expedition when in 1850 on00:17:44
beachy island they found several tin00:17:47
cans what looked to be the remnant of a00:17:49
camp as well as three graves buried in00:17:52
the ice the names on the headstones were00:17:55
that of three members of the expedition00:17:58
spaced out over the course of several00:17:59
months it wasn't uncommon for people to00:18:02
get out in the middle of the cold and00:18:04
die of pneumonia or tuberculosis so this00:18:08
didn't prove that the entire crew had00:18:10
met a tragic end and as a matter of fact00:18:12
it shows that they were in enough state00:18:14
that they could still bury their dead00:18:16
however the dates on the tombstone00:18:18
indicated that they were buried in 184500:18:21
meaning that this had to occur in the00:18:23
first several months of the expedition00:18:25
furthermore in 1851 an iceberg began to00:18:27
be spotted off the coast of greenland00:18:30
that had two ships stuck in the ice of00:18:33
the iceberg itself now it turned out00:18:35
later that these were actually two00:18:37
abandoned whaling ships but stories of00:18:40
seeing two giant ships frozen in ice00:18:42
didn't help quell any of the fears back00:18:44
home in 1852 a captain by the name of00:18:47
edward belcher managed to get trapped in00:18:50
the ice while looking for the franklin00:18:52
expedition and a total of four ships00:18:55
were lost and had to be abandoned during00:18:58
this voyage this isn't necessarily00:19:00
related to the story but one of those00:19:02
ships was called the hms resolute which00:19:05
was recovered by americans several years00:19:08
later and as a sort of gift america00:19:11
returned that ship to britain to which00:19:14
britain then made several desks out of00:19:17
the wood of the ship and one of those00:19:20
desks called the resolute desk was00:19:22
gifted to president hayes and still sets00:19:25
in the oval office to this day just fun00:19:28
note there's a lot of reports that00:19:30
belcher was very hasty and made a lot of00:19:32
bad decisions during the voyage and00:19:34
that's what led to losing four ships00:19:36
however this was enough to scare the00:19:38
british government away from looking for00:19:40
the crew00:19:41
after so much cost had already been00:19:43
accrued and officially the expedition00:19:46
was declared lost and the crew dead on00:19:49
march the 31st of 1854. the next month00:19:53
on april the 21st of 1854 a man by the00:19:56
name of john ray who was from britain00:19:58
but was currently living with the inuit00:20:00
people in canada said that he came into00:20:03
contact with a few natives who said that00:20:07
they had found signs of the franklin00:20:09
expedition see at this point no one had00:20:11
any idea what happened to the expedition00:20:14
and this was the first clue of their00:20:15
whereabouts since the 1845 campsite00:20:18
while talking to local natives john ray00:20:21
said that they came across a campsite of00:20:23
some 35 to 40 men who were all wasted00:20:27
away and dead specifically near the00:20:29
southernmost point of king william00:20:31
island near the opening of the back00:20:34
river at northern canada the natives had00:20:36
several items to prove that their story00:20:38
was true00:20:39
including silverware with crozier's00:20:42
initials on it as well as framed00:20:44
pictures of the captains themselves the00:20:47
most horrific part of the story is that00:20:49
the hunting party that came across this00:20:51
campsite said several of the bodies were00:20:54
mutilated and cut up and due to human00:20:57
remains being in the fireplace it was00:20:59
suggested that the final survivors had00:21:01
to resort to cannibalism john ray00:21:04
collected several more testimonies and00:21:06
then brought his findings back to00:21:08
britain this coincided with an unrelated00:21:11
search that happened in 1855 in which a00:21:15
crew said that they found a piece of00:21:17
wood located on king william island that00:21:20
had erebus carved into it and another00:21:23
piece of wood that had mr stanley carved00:21:26
into it mr stanley being the name of the00:21:28
doctor aboard the erebus john ray's00:21:31
findings were published in papers across00:21:33
england and people00:21:35
lost their minds primarily at the00:21:37
suggestion of cannibalism see at the00:21:40
time concepts of00:21:42
people being pushed to the brink and the00:21:45
horrors of survival and things like that00:21:47
weren't really commonplace in people's00:21:49
mindset and cannibalism was just seen as00:21:51
the ultimate act of evil so the people00:21:54
who left 10 years earlier as the00:21:57
superheroes aboard their rocket ship00:21:59
often to the great white wonder were now00:22:02
being considered the worst of the worst00:22:04
several people just simply didn't accept00:22:06
the information charles dickens being00:22:08
one of them saying that the00:22:10
he didn't use the word savages but he00:22:12
heavily implied savages of the north00:22:14
just made it up because they don't00:22:16
understand british dignity either way00:22:18
lady franklin was determined now more00:22:20
than ever to find some evidence of what00:22:23
happened to her husband and his crew00:22:25
however as mentioned earlier the00:22:26
government wasn't having it so she used00:22:29
her own money to commission an00:22:31
expedition all by herself well00:22:34
commissioned sailors to go do it all by00:22:36
themselves she didn't go all by herself00:22:38
although that would be kind of neat on00:22:40
july the 2nd of 1857 a ship known as fox00:22:44
set cell to try to find some evidence of00:22:46
the franklin crew and sure enough on the00:22:48
northern shore of king william island00:22:51
the first evidence of the expedition was00:22:53
found inside of a carn which is00:22:55
essentially a pile of rocks in a box was00:22:58
the only known note to come from this00:23:02
entire voyage i'll explain what the note00:23:04
was whenever i get to the specifics of00:23:06
what happened to the crew but also00:23:08
discovered nearby was a skeleton wearing00:23:11
a work uniform of someone aboard the00:23:14
erebus furthermore on the western shore00:23:16
of king william island they found a00:23:18
lifeboat of the terror which was full of00:23:21
unneeded supplies like soap00:23:24
and combs and brushes and silverware and00:23:27
things that wouldn't be needed for00:23:29
walking across the island as well as two00:23:32
more skeletons laying within the00:23:34
lifeboat there was another man named00:23:36
charles frances hall who also lived00:23:38
among the inuit people who was00:23:40
determined to find some evidence of the00:23:42
expedition from 1860 to 1869 he explored00:23:46
the entire area of king williams island00:23:49
and the back river of northern canada00:23:52
while also interviewing local natives to00:23:54
try to see if he could piece together00:23:56
what happened hall found various graves00:23:58
all across his journey and took hundreds00:24:01
of testimonies from those he came across00:24:03
over the years the testimonies dwindled00:24:05
from seeing large groups of men walking00:24:07
across the island all the way down to00:24:10
just two00:24:11
in 185800:24:13
so with the information that all of the00:24:15
people i just mentioned gathered let's00:24:17
try to put together what happened to the00:24:19
franklin expedition well as i mentioned00:24:21
earlier the last time they were spotted00:24:23
was in july of 1845. from that location00:24:26
at baffin bay to the campsite that was00:24:29
found at beachy island it seems that00:24:31
everything was going well up until that00:24:33
point as i mentioned earlier it was00:24:35
expected that whenever winter hit they00:24:37
would be stuck for several months and00:24:39
during this time it seems that they were00:24:41
stuck at beachy island which would00:24:43
explain the three bodies and hundreds of00:24:45
food cans which were found thrown out on00:24:48
shore for reasons i'll explain later it00:24:50
was determined that these three had died00:24:52
of pneumonia while tragic not unexpected00:24:55
however it seems that perhaps their ship00:24:58
was moving too slow and they were there00:25:00
until the next winter where the ship was00:25:03
stuck off the northern coast of king00:25:05
williams island in september of 1846.00:25:08
remember how way earlier in the video i00:25:11
mentioned that these were two naval00:25:13
warships which were heavily kitted out00:25:16
with all of this cool material to make00:25:18
sure that they stay running well00:25:20
something that wasn't considered until00:25:22
years later is the incredible weight00:25:25
that these ships had see whenever you're00:25:28
trying to break through the ice to get00:25:30
around the arctic speed is a priority00:25:33
and while the ships certainly have the00:25:35
fortifications to make sure they didn't00:25:37
sink if they ran into any ice00:25:40
that also weighed them down ensuring00:25:42
that they weren't quick enough to break00:25:44
through it and remember that steam00:25:45
engine i mentioned earlier the one that00:25:47
came from a locomotive and was put into00:25:49
the ships well while a fantastic idea at00:25:52
the time if these things were opened up00:25:55
a hundred percent00:25:57
they could go a speed of 7.4 kilometers00:26:00
an hour or about four and a half miles00:26:03
per hour again not enough to get any00:26:05
substantial distance through frozen00:26:07
water it wasn't uncommon for ships at00:26:10
the time to get ice bound up in the00:26:12
propellers of their system to which00:26:14
someone would have to do the nauseating00:26:16
process of putting on a diving suit00:26:18
going overboard and breaking it off with00:26:20
a stick so perhaps a combination of the00:26:22
water freezing and it taking too long to00:26:25
break the ice in front of them which was00:26:27
often done with long sticks and00:26:29
explosives as well as ice itself00:26:31
freezing to the ship and propeller they00:26:33
didn't travel as fast as they thought00:26:35
they could another factor is the00:26:37
navigation of the expedition itself00:26:40
while this wasn't stated on the note and00:26:42
there were no survivors to say for sure00:26:45
it's quite possible that they quite00:26:47
literally took the wrong turn see at the00:26:49
time it was mapped and documented to go00:26:52
north through baffin bay and then come00:26:55
south to the north of king williams00:26:58
island however at the time and part of00:27:00
the reason the expedition existed it00:27:02
wasn't known if it was best to take a00:27:04
more westward or eastward route through00:27:07
the channels to get out from what we00:27:09
know now it seems that they took a route00:27:11
into the more open and mainland line of00:27:14
water which turned out to be a problem00:27:16
because as we also know al that is a00:27:19
primary route for polar ice caps to00:27:21
break off and then flow through the00:27:23
mainstream meaning if they took the00:27:25
other term they could go through what is00:27:26
now the simpsons strait and make their00:27:29
voyage into asia but instead they went00:27:31
the other route which while manageable00:27:34
today would have been impossible at the00:27:36
time regardless the true was trapped off00:27:39
the coast of king william island in 184600:27:42
and it was here that the note was placed00:27:44
inside of the carn that i mentioned00:27:46
earlier also i'm going to assume you00:27:48
can't read latitude and longitude and if00:27:51
you can you're better at this than i am00:27:53
so i'm just going to say location00:27:55
whenever we get to them00:27:57
hms ship erebus and terror wintered in00:28:00
the ice in location having wintered in00:28:03
1846 to 1847 at beachy island in00:28:08
location after having ascended00:28:10
wellington channel to location and00:28:13
returned by the west side of cornwallis00:28:16
island sir john franklin commanding the00:28:18
expedition all well so as mentioned00:28:21
there this was written and very legible00:28:24
at beachy island the first location00:28:26
where the ship was frozen this second00:28:28
note is written in the margins around00:28:30
the paper and seems to be in much more00:28:33
distress hms ships terror and erebus00:28:36
were deserted on the 22nd of april00:28:40
leagues north northwest of this having00:28:43
been beset since the 12th of september00:28:46
184600:28:48
the officers and crews consisting of a00:28:50
hundred and five souls under the command00:28:53
of captain frm crozier before the note00:28:56
goes on to describe the manner in which00:28:59
this note was retrieved and it then says00:29:02
sir john franklin died on june the 11th00:29:06
of 184700:29:08
and the total loss by deaths in the00:29:10
expedition has been to this state 900:29:13
officers and 15 men00:29:16
signed by james fitch james captain of00:29:20
the hms erebus the note itself was00:29:23
signed by crozier and fitz james and as00:29:26
mentioned indicated that franklin had00:29:28
died on june the 11th and as mentioned00:29:30
at the end that made fitz james the new00:29:33
captain of the erebus so what went wrong00:29:36
yes they were stuck frozen in the water00:29:38
a second time but the ship had rations00:29:40
for three years and up to five if they00:29:44
strung out their meals well remember00:29:46
that little detail i mentioned in the00:29:47
beginning that seven weeks before they00:29:50
were set to launch the lowest bidder00:29:52
made eight thousand cans of food00:29:54
whenever these tins of cans were found00:29:56
on beachy island they were examined and00:29:59
had the worst sealing job you could00:30:02
imagine for one the soldering to close00:30:05
off the can itself was done with molten00:30:08
lead and on the inside of the food there00:30:10
was liquid lead that had been hardened00:30:13
after it ran all in the meal which you00:30:15
know probably isn't good for you but all00:30:18
of the can showed signs of erosion and00:30:21
improper sealing and one of the primary00:30:24
theories of what went wrong is that the00:30:26
food spoiled furthermore if that canned00:30:28
food went bad then the men would be00:30:31
subject to scurvy now most ships at the00:30:33
time including the terror and erebus00:30:36
would keep lemon juice in bottles to00:30:38
drink to keep scurvy away however the00:30:40
effective time of living juice is about00:30:43
a year and as established it had been00:30:45
two years at this point and the lead00:30:48
poisoning of the foods and everything00:30:49
combined there was a lot of different00:30:51
ways these guys could have died and i'll00:30:53
continue to stake my flag on the idea00:30:55
that the food went bad because of the00:30:57
final note written in the margin of the00:30:59
page by crozier which says00:31:02
and start on tomorrow the 26th for bax00:31:06
fish river this lines up with what i00:31:08
mentioned earlier of several relics00:31:11
being found on the way to baxfish river00:31:13
so if the food was still good they would00:31:16
have stayed on the ships because the00:31:17
ships were made to get frozen in ice and00:31:19
then keep going but if it's bad then the00:31:21
guys had no other option than to walk00:31:24
across the expanse of king williams00:31:26
island which king williams island is an00:31:28
empty island full of rocks and ice so00:31:32
very inhospitable this also explains why00:31:35
there was a lifeboat found full of00:31:37
supplies on the west coast of the island00:31:40
from piecing together everything it00:31:42
seems that crozier now acting as00:31:44
commander of the survivors of the ship00:31:47
brought at least one lifeboat and filled00:31:49
it with several of the supplies the men00:31:51
would need possibly any food that was00:31:53
still good and at least initially some00:31:56
supplies for morale like combs and00:31:59
spoons and extra boots and etc the00:32:01
purpose of the lifeboat being for one to00:32:04
carry the supplies but also so that00:32:06
whenever they get to baxfish river they00:32:09
can then get in the lifeboat and take it00:32:12
down the river because the only known00:32:14
settlement was several hundred miles00:32:17
down bax river meaning that even if they00:32:20
did get all the way to king williams00:32:22
island they would then have to continue00:32:24
paddling down river for potentially00:32:27
months but it was either that or starved00:32:30
to death on the boat so as mentioned in00:32:32
the letter the men set out on april 26th00:32:35
the distance from where the letter was00:32:37
found to the mouth of the river was00:32:39
about00:32:40
248 miles one group of natives said they00:32:43
came across the men during this time who00:32:46
asked them for food but the natives00:32:48
themselves had to take care of their own00:32:51
and weren't able to offer much but that00:32:53
they did witness about 40 men walking00:32:56
across king williams island south00:32:58
towards canada and from there00:33:00
i wish there was more to say but it00:33:03
seems the franklin expedition at least00:33:05
officially vanished off the face of the00:33:07
earth i'm going to talk about some of00:33:09
the modern findings of this case but00:33:11
there's a couple things i want to00:33:12
mention that are my favorite details of00:33:14
the story the last relics that can be00:33:16
positively id'd as part of the00:33:19
expedition were found about 40 miles00:33:22
north of the river meaning that the men00:33:25
had made it some 200 miles across king00:33:28
williams island however remember how00:33:31
earlier i stated there were several00:33:32
natives who said they came into contact00:33:35
with two men well that was in canada as00:33:38
a matter of fact about 250 miles south00:33:41
of the northern border of canada in 185800:33:45
and when shown pictures all of the00:33:47
natives identified one of the men as00:33:50
captain crozier of the hms terror if00:33:53
this were to be true that would mean00:33:54
that captain crozier and one other men00:33:57
had successfully walked about 600 miles00:34:01
over the course of 12 years in 194800:34:05
around the same region of northern00:34:06
canada there was another carn very00:34:09
similar to the one found on bg island00:34:12
and inside of the carn was a wooden box00:34:15
that was put together with dovetail wood00:34:17
which was a practice in mid-1800s00:34:20
england sadly and very frustratingly the00:34:22
box was destroyed and no note was found00:34:25
but if that was set up by crozier and00:34:28
the other man that would confirm the00:34:31
idea that they had walked for over a00:34:33
decade 600 miles through the arctic the00:34:36
other detail i want to mention is that00:34:38
of the expeditions mission itself00:34:40
remember i said there were remnants of00:34:42
the crew found on the western side of00:34:44
king williams island well from the coast00:34:47
of king williams island you can actually00:34:49
see the simpsons strait which is the00:34:52
opening that was later discovered to be00:34:55
the pathway through the arctic to asia00:34:58
and it's incredibly possible that that00:35:00
was the last thing in the men's mind at00:35:02
the time but i like to think at some00:35:04
point the captain and the men looked00:35:06
over and saw the entry to the eastern00:35:10
world and realized that even if just to00:35:12
themselves they discovered it as a00:35:14
matter of fact england agrees with me00:35:16
too but let's talk about some of the00:35:18
more modern discoveries in 1981 a00:35:20
researcher by the name of owen beatty00:35:22
was determined to find out what happened00:35:25
to the franklin expedition beatty and00:35:27
his research team explored the region of00:35:29
king williams island where the lifeboat00:35:32
was previously identified between that00:35:34
location of victory point the original00:35:36
area that the letter was found they00:35:38
found several bones of the crewmen upon00:35:41
examination the bones had pitting that00:35:43
was consistent with cases of scurvy as00:35:46
well as lead concentrations 10 times00:35:49
over the regular amount so the theory of00:35:52
the food being bad is pretty well00:35:53
supported however the other thing that00:35:55
they found on the bones was several00:35:58
scratches and knife cuts indicating that00:36:01
there was most likely some form of00:36:03
cannibalism present furthermore at00:36:05
several of the makeshift campsites they00:36:06
found along the way there were bones00:36:09
that seemed to be polished by the inside00:36:11
of a pot which is seen in cases of00:36:14
extreme cannibalism or i should say when00:36:17
cannibalism's needed in extremes and00:36:19
people try to boil the marrow out of the00:36:22
bones indicating how hungry these men00:36:24
were all in all from 1981 to 1982 beady00:36:28
found the remains of six to 14 people to00:36:31
confirm his theories about the death of00:36:32
the men he needed another example for00:36:35
the time and lo and behold perfect00:36:37
examples existed in the graves on beachy00:36:40
island i'm going to show what could be00:36:43
considered to many disturbing imagery00:36:45
but i feel this is important for the00:36:47
historical connotation and also the00:36:49
science aspect of it and is for a purely00:36:52
educational sense however understand if00:36:54
you don't like that so there will be a00:36:55
time stamp in the description to skip00:36:58
past these pictures but these are the00:37:00
images of the bodies exhumed from beachy00:37:01
island despite the ghastly look the00:37:03
tissues were in near perfect condition00:37:06
which allowed very accurate samples of00:37:10
the bodies as well as the causes of00:37:12
death to be determined and also while00:37:14
this is mostly an informational00:37:16
explanation that i'm giving you i don't00:37:18
want to gloss over the horror and00:37:20
simultaneous wonder00:37:22
of people being consumed by the elements00:37:26
yet in death being completely00:37:29
consecrated by them and there's such a00:37:32
it's a vicious poetry to it it was found00:37:35
on these bodies that the cause of death00:37:37
was in fact pneumonia supporting the00:37:39
theory people at the time had that00:37:41
everything went wrong the winter after00:37:43
beachy island from 1984 to 1993 over 40000:37:48
bones were found along king williams00:37:50
island and many of which indicated signs00:37:53
of cannibalism perhaps most tragic was00:37:56
the feature that the hands feet and head00:38:00
all seemed to be removed before the00:38:02
cannibal acts were taken as if the most00:38:05
human parts of their friends00:38:07
they wanted to remove before committing00:38:10
what was to them such a horrendous act00:38:12
see while the people of britain thought00:38:14
it was such a horrible atrocious action00:38:17
that no sane man would ever commit00:38:20
the people who were a part of this00:38:22
expedition also had those same ideas and00:38:26
while they had to do it to survive00:38:28
the ghastly nature that the people back00:38:31
home felt of them i'm sure they felt 1000:38:34
times over so you're probably asking00:38:36
yourself the question well if they found00:38:38
all of the bodies of the men what about00:38:40
the ships themselves well over the years00:38:42
there were several sonar studies and00:38:44
helicopter missions to try to see if00:38:47
they could find any remains of the ship00:38:49
well finally on september the 9th of00:38:51
2014 the erebus was found sunken under00:38:55
just 36 feet of water not far from the00:38:58
northernmost point of king williams00:39:00
island specifically at the location00:39:02
known as wilmot and crampton bay the00:39:05
ship had simply sunk from years of00:39:06
disrepair and after drones and cameras00:39:09
went through the ship it seems to be in00:39:11
completely idyllic condition as a matter00:39:14
of fact the erebus is still in its00:39:16
exhuming process and it's currently said00:39:18
that the first 65 artifacts that are00:39:21
recovered will go back to england and00:39:23
the remaining artifacts will belong to00:39:25
canada and the inuit people and then on00:39:28
september 12th of 2016 the terror was00:39:32
found much farther to the south as a00:39:34
matter of fact out of complete00:39:36
coincidence00:39:38
the terror was found in a place known as00:39:41
terror bay perhaps most bizarrely about00:39:43
the terror other than the fact that it00:39:45
sank in a place named terror was the00:39:48
fact that its anchors were still up and00:39:50
locked see whenever these ships got00:39:52
frozen they would drop their anchors to00:39:55
make sure that they didn't float away or00:39:57
randomly tilt if the ice were to crack00:39:59
or thaw out furthermore it was much00:40:01
further away and seemed to follow a00:40:03
trajectory as if it was trying to get00:40:05
back to the mainland the common00:40:06
historical belief is either that someone00:40:09
went back after they were walking across00:40:12
the island to try to pilot the terror to00:40:15
get it towards land or a few people00:40:17
stayed on the ship who there was enough00:40:20
food to supply for but again like the00:40:22
rest of the crew whenever they made00:40:24
their voyage they met the same fate in00:40:27
2018 the terror was examined beneath00:40:29
about 80 feet of water and seems to be00:40:32
like the erebus in perfect condition00:40:34
frozen in time under the waves and there00:40:37
are still discoveries of the franklin00:40:39
expedition happening to this day not00:40:41
only are they still in the process of00:40:43
bringing up artifacts from the wrecked00:40:45
ship but in may of 2021 one of the00:40:48
bodies that were found was positively00:40:51
id'd as john gregory because his great00:40:54
great great great grandson living in00:40:58
south africa provided a dna sample which00:41:01
gave a positive id one of the things i00:41:03
love about this story so much is despite00:41:05
the fact that it was over a century and00:41:08
a half ago the mystery is still00:41:10
continuing to be unsolved and unraveled00:41:12
each day another tragic beauty of the00:41:14
story is that in 1850 one of the ships00:41:17
sent to search for the franklin00:41:19
expedition known as the hms investigator00:41:23
and yes that was the name of it seemed00:41:24
to be right on the path of the00:41:26
expedition only they took the other00:41:29
route meaning that they found the path00:41:32
from europe to asia to which the00:41:35
investigator also got trapped in the ice00:41:37
and needed rescued from the resolute00:41:39
which as i mentioned earlier also got00:41:41
trapped in the ice but that's not00:41:43
important they found the path and that00:41:44
path which was later discovered as the00:41:46
simpsons strait is the one i mentioned00:41:48
earlier that perhaps the final members00:41:50
of the crew realized they had discovered00:41:53
the captain who discovered that the00:41:54
simpsons strait was indeed the passage00:41:56
from europe to asia agreed with the00:41:59
admiralty that the franklin expedition00:42:02
should be named as the discoverers of it00:42:04
and in 1860 the british government00:42:06
honored captain franklin as being the00:42:09
discoverer of the passage between worlds00:42:11
and lady franklin was there to accept00:42:13
the medal in his honor to which they00:42:15
commemorated a statue of john franklin00:42:18
to which the plaque simply reads they00:42:20
forged the last link with their lives00:42:23
and with that ends the story of the hms00:42:26
erebus the hms terror and the tragic00:42:29
victory of the franklin expedition i've00:42:32
always enjoyed stories00:42:34
of the last days of the crusades of00:42:38
adventure and00:42:40
the journeys of man and all of that and00:42:42
like the ferocity and just the00:42:45
viciousness of nature is all around this00:42:47
story uh and it's anyone's guess what to00:42:50
happen in the series of terror they talk00:42:52
about how the polar bears could have00:42:54
killed them or how lead poisoning can00:42:56
lead to delusions of the mind and they00:42:58
could have went paranoid and there's all00:43:00
sorts of manner of things that could00:43:02
have led to their end or as the men of00:43:04
the time would say it seems like the00:43:06
whole world is trying to kill you00:43:07
whenever you're up there and every00:43:09
single day is a fight for survival but00:43:11
in spite of all of that00:43:14
because of what they did it led to the00:43:17
discovery of the passage and in other00:43:20
reports that were written around the00:43:21
time there were people who said it was00:43:23
meaningless and by the logical sense it00:43:26
was it took that much effort to get up00:43:28
there there was no way you were going to00:43:30
send a bunch of merchant vessels back00:43:31
and forth all around the year um and the00:43:34
suez canal eventually had to be invented00:43:37
to deal with that and blah blah but in00:43:40
their conquest for that to put the last00:43:43
piece of the map together to decide or00:43:47
figure out the geography of the whole00:43:48
world00:43:49
they managed to succeed00:43:52
one report i forget who i've been doing00:43:54
so much research about this stuff one00:43:56
report said that more was discovered in00:43:59
the search for them than their one ship00:44:01
ever could have put together and that's00:44:03
what i mean by the tragic victory in the00:44:05
end they accomplished what they had set00:44:07
out to do and i i love the idea of00:44:11
crozier walking 12 years for the hms00:44:14
tear and just oh it's so good it's it's00:44:17
it's poetry it's poetry in the real00:44:19
world and i i love it and hopefully you00:44:22
