Ice Ghosts weaves together the epic story of the Lost Franklin
Expedition of 1845—whose two ships and crew of 129 were lost to
the Arctic ice—with the tale of the incredible discovery of the
flagship’s wreck in 2014. Paul Watson, who was on the icebreaker
that led the discovery expedition, tells a fast-paced historical
adventure story: Sir John Franklin and the crew of the HMS Erebus
and Terror setting off in search of the fabled Northwest Passage,
the hazards they encountered and the reasons they were forced to
abandon ship hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of
civilization, and the decades of searching that exposed rumours of
cannibalism and a few scattered papers and bones—until a
combination of Inuit lore and the latest science yielded a
discovery for the ages.
