Product description : HMS TERROR

In 1845, under the command of Captain Sir John A. Franklin, the ships Terror and Erebus set out in search of the famous Northwest Passage. These were the first ships equipped with auxiliary engines. They are reinforced with iron blades which protect them against the ice and have provisions for three years of navigation.
They will be seen for the last time near Greenland before disappearing into the labyrinth of the Arctic ice.

The wreck of the ship HMS Terror, which disappeared 168 years ago, was found on September 26, 2016 thanks to the collaboration of an Inuit hunter from the Arctic village of Gjoa Haven. The Terror is in a good state of conservation. Images were obtained of the deck and interior where objects and intact parts of the vessel can be observed.

The mystery of Franklin's tragic expedition remains. Archaeological study of the Terror wreck may help to shed light on it.
