After Royal Navy captain Sir John Franklin disappeared in the
Arctic in 1846 while seeking the Northwest Passage, the search for
his two ships, "Erebus" and "Terror," and survivors of his
expedition became one of the most exhaustive quests of the 19th
century. Despite tantalizing clues, the ships were never found, and
the fate of Franklin's expedition passed into legend as one of the
North's great and enduring mysteries. Anthony Dalton explores the
eventful and fascinating life of this complex and intelligent man,
beginning with his early sea voyages and arduous overland
explorations in the Arctic. After years in Malta and Tasmania,
Franklin realized his dream of returning to the Far North; it would
be his last expedition. Drawing from evidence found by 19th-century
Arctic explorers following in Franklin's footsteps and
investigations by 20th-century historians and archaeologists,
Dalton retraces the route of the lost ships and recounts the sad
tale of Franklin, his officers and men in their final agonizing
months.
