In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to “penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America.€ And then they disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin€s ill-fated Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century. Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But the most startling discovery didn€t come until 2014, when a team commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered one of the lost ships: Erebus.
