Canadian Facts and Trivia - THE PEOPLE AND THE HISTORY
Sir John Franklin’s name is a legend in Canadian history, after an 1845 attempt to find the Northwest Passage ended in the loss of his two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, and the deaths of all 129 officers and crew.

Since then, there’s been a trickle of clues found scattered across the Canadian Arctic as to the expedition’s final fate, with the puzzle finally solved with the discovery of the wrecks of first Erebus in 2014 and Terror in 2016.
