HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in the Arctic
HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in the Arctic. These two British naval ships made up Sir John Franklins 1845 expedition to find the Northwest Passage, a sea-route between Canada and the Arctic that links the Atlantic to the Pacific. The ships were steel- fronted to help them push through ice. They were sailing vessels, but also equipped with a small steam engine and a propeller. The remains of the Erebus and records of the expedition were found in 1859. After being trapped in sea ice for 3 years, the remnant of the crew of 135 had abandoned ship to travel south. There were no survivors. Artwork published in the 1880s in Pictorial Chronicles of the Mighty Deep

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, two formidable British naval ships that embarked on a treacherous expedition to discover the elusive Northwest Passage in 1845. The Arctic backdrop emphasizes the harsh conditions these vessels encountered as they ventured through icy waters, their steel-fronted hulls designed to withstand the relentless pressure of ice floes. Combining traditional sailing techniques with innovative technology, such as a small steam engine and propeller, these ships epitomized Victorian-era exploration. Tragically, after being trapped in sea ice for three long years, the crew of 135 made a desperate decision to abandon ship and journey southward in search of survival. Regrettably, no one survived this ill-fated voyage. In 1859, remnants of the Erebus were discovered along with records shedding light on their doomed expedition. The artwork featured here was published in the 1880s as part of Pictorial Chronicles of the Mighty Deep—a testament to both historical significance and artistic expression. This vividly colored illustration transports us back to an era where polar exploration held great allure but also carried immense risks. It serves as a poignant reminder of human ambition pitted against nature's unforgiving forces. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated quest but also of humanity's unyielding thirst for knowledge and discovery—an enduring legacy etched into history by brave souls who dared venture into uncharted territories like those depicted here.
