Summary:
English explorer Sir John Franklin is largely forgotten today, but in the mid-nineteenth century his name was in the headlines when his two stout vessels Erebus and Terror and 129 officers and men disappeared in the Arctic. New books such as Ann Savours', "The Search for the North West Passage" and Scott Cookman's "Ice Blink: The Tragic Fate of Sir John Franklin's Lost Polar Expedition" bring Sir Franklin back to mind.
