Relics of the Franklin Expedition - Discovering Artifacts from the Doomed Arctic Voyage of 1845 (Paperback)

Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition departed England in 1845 with
two Royal Navy bomb vessels, 129 men and three years' worth of
provisions. None were seen again until nearly a decade later, when
their bleached bones, broken instruments, books, papers and
personal effects began to be recovered on Canada's King William
Island. These relics have since had a life of their
own-photographed, analyzed, cataloged and displayed in glass cases
in London. This book gives a definitive history of their
preservation and exhibition from the Victorian era to the present,
richly illustrated with period engravings and photographs, many
never before published. Appendices provide the first comprehensive
accounting of all expedition relics recovered prior to the 2014
discovery of Franklin's ship HMS Erebus.
