History of the 1845 Franklin Expedition and his lost ships her Majesty's Ship Erebus and her Majesty's Ship Terror
| Service Canada | backgrounders
On May 19, 1845, Her Majesty's Ships (HMS) Erebus and HMS Terror of the Royal Navy departed Greenhithe, England, on a much-heralded Arctic expedition in search of a Northwest Passage. Under the command of Sir John Franklin, with Captain Francis Rawdon Crozier second in command, the expedition's two ships set out with a total complement of 129 officers and men. HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were converted bomb vessels of 372 and 325 tons respectively, and both had already seen prior service in polar exploration, with the latter also having seen service during the War of 1812. They were stoutly-built and soundly reinforced for operation in the ice, equipped with novel auxiliary-steam screw propulsion systems, fitted expressly for the expedition, and lavishly provisioned for a voyage of up to three years. Sir John Franklin's orders were to traverse the Passage and return to England without delay via the Pacific. The expedition was also expected to conduct a variety of zoological, botanical, magnetic, and geological surveys.
