John Franklin (1786-1847) was a famous Arctic explorer that sailed to find the North-West Passage. Becoming a haunting tale of history now known as Franklin's lost expedition. Franklin and his crew were last seen by whalers in Baffin Bay in July 1845. Many rescue missions were launched thereafter to find the lost ships, HMS Terror and Erebus. This gripping book written by Peter Lund Simmonds (1814-1897) uses a wide range of reports and publications about these expeditions in his history of the search for the North-West Passage. This detailed account also includes descriptions of the many missions to find Franklin and his crew and investigates the fate of Franklin's voyage.
