    An urge to head North -- Raising steam -- Stumbling North -- The Peter Bayne map -- Cape Felix -- Crozier's Landing -- Up and away -- Mustering the hands -- Northward ho! -- Mounds and rings -- Haunted shores -- One more heave? -- Some you win ... -- Headwinds and rough waters -- Hope on, hope ever. "Ernest Coleman has led or participated in four expeditions to find out the fate of the Franklin expedition. 129 men were lost from the two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, looking for the North West Passage. Many theories have been put forward--and many of them, in the author's opinion, have been shaped by political bias. In this work, he is determined to set the record straight: 'I have provided answers to all their machinations--including the 'lead poisoning' tripe, and the 'cannibalism' nonsense, cracked the code in the writings of Petty Officer Peglar (bones found and wallet recovered), and given new answers to all the many smaller mysteries that continue to be reproduced by others. I have also revealed the site of Franklin's grave, the biggest mystery of all.' Coleman's lifetime quest for the truth at the ends of the earth is an extraordinary story of determination in itself. The story of Franklin's expedition remains one of the greatest and most tragic events of the age of exploration"--Amazon.com

    How did the Victorian fixation on the disastrous John Franklin expedition transform our understanding of the Northwest Passage and the Arctic? Today we still tend to see the Arctic and the Northwest Passage through nineteenth-century perspectives, which focused on the discoveries of individual explorers, their illustrated books, visual culture, imperial ambitions, and high-profile disasters. However, the farther back one looks, the more striking the differences appear in how Arctic exploration was envisioned. Writing Arctic Disaster uncovers a wide range of exploration cultures: from the manuscripts of secretive corporations like the Hudson's Bay Company, to the nationalist Admiralty and its innovative illustrated books, to the searches for and exhibits of disaster relics in the Victorian era. This innovative study reveals the dangerous afterlife of this Victorian conflation of exploration and disaster, in the geopolitical significance accruing around the 2014 discovery of Franklin's ship Erebus in the Northwest Passage

    In 1841, Sir John Franklin and his wife moved to the remote penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania. There, Lady Jane fell in love with a lively aboriginal girl whom she adopted and attempted to civilize. Years later, St. John disappeared with his crew and two ships in the Arctic. Flanagan has woven a moving tale of colonialism, ambition, and the longings that make us human

    In the mid-nineteenth century, thirty-six expeditions set out for the Northwest Passage in search of Sir John Franklin's missing expedition. The array of visual and textual material produced on these voyages was to have a profound impact on the idea of the Arctic in the Victorian imaginary. Eavan O'Dochartaigh closely examines neglected archival sources to show how pictures created in the Arctic fed into a metropolitan view transmitted through engravings, lithographs, and panoramas. Although the metropolitan Arctic revolved around a fulcrum of heroism, terror and the sublime, the visual culture of the ship reveals a more complicated narrative that included cross-dressing, theatricals, dressmaking, and dances with local communities. O'Dochartaigh's investigation into the nature of the on-board visual culture of the nineteenth-century Arctic presents a compelling challenge to the 'man-versus-nature' trope that still reverberates in polar imaginaries today. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

"In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his crew set out from London on the ships Terror and Erebus for the Northwest Passage that was thought to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. When the Franklin expedition failed to return, numerous search expeditions (thirty-six in all) were sent in its wake, producing hundreds of sketches, paintings, and texts that ultimately fed into a fascination with the Arctic. Very little research has been done on the visual records of Arctic exploration during this period. This is despite a burgeoning of interest in the polar regions in general, specifically in the literary Arctic and Antarctic, and the discovery of the two Franklin ships (in 2014 and 2016). The visual informed, and continues to inform, our ideas of the polar regions in crucial ways. This book follows the depiction of the Arctic from the ship to the shore, beginning in the Northwest Passage and ending in the metropole, continually returning to the Arctic through the eyes of the little-known expedition members who took part in the search for Franklin"--
