This historical documentary is more like a booklet than a book, with colour photos on most pages. For all that it is a great lesson in Canadian history, outlining the fate of the long lost Franklin expedition seeking a path through the Northwest Passage in 1845. When the Erubus and the Terror were eventually found in 2015, sunk in Arctic ice, the crew was also partly found far from where the ships were, with evidence of starvation, scurvy, tuberculosis and cannibalism. This was facilitated in part by Inuit oral folklore passed down through many generations. Reproduced letters to relatives in England vividly depict the lives of these brave men
An interesting quick read, but when I finished it I checked and the one Tony recommended is totally different « Death On the Ice » by Casey Brown.
4/5
Thanks, Tony.
