The indigenous communities in the north knew the location however, were never consulted by people seeking the wreck. The ship was literally right where they had known it was located.

Erebus and Terror were not "massive, colossal warships". They were converted coastal bombardment vessels not even 400 tons in weight, which was small by the standards of the day. In contrast, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar (thirty years earlier), HMS Victory, weighed in at 3,500 tons. This film could do with being a lot less hyperbolic.
@4thamendment2373 жыл бұрын
Colossal warships? Erebus had a beam (width) of 29 feet and a 416 ton displacement; Terror had a beam of 27 feet with a 364 ton displacement. And converted locomotive steam engines that could make 4 knots?! Pffft. British steamships using maritime steam engines were 3 times that fast. This kind of hyperbolic narration is not only inaccurate, it actually takes away from the real risks those men faced.

Those Goldner tins were used also on all other Royal Navy ships and expeditions, yet nowhere else this high amount of lead poisoning is recorded. Moreover increased lead level were common during these days as it was vastly used in industry as well as building material and water pipes. Also the victory point note meantioned that 9 officers (out of 24) and 15 crew men (out of 105) died when they abonded the ships on 22.04.1948 Almost 40% of officers died before this date vs 14% of crew men. This indicates that the officers were exposed to a stronger lead source than the lower ranked crew men. Likely the culprit were the water pipes of the stove, where they distilled and melted ice and sea water. The patent writings for this so called "Fraser stove" say that lead pipes were used. Especially distilled water and high temperature steam washes lead out of the pipes. This water was needed for the new steam engines, but as well for baking fresh bread and fresh drink water. Especially when baking bread the water vaporizes and the lead stays in the bread. Fresh bread and fresh water was likely served to officers with priority, this would explain the higher death rate among them. So the Goldner tins already increased the base lead level (but within range of other expedtions who used the same tins) and likely the new water pipes put a very toxic level of lead on top. Franklin himself likely died among others due to his high age very early on lead toxiticy. Just a summary, the full study can be found among: "Identification of the Probable Source of the Lead Poisoning Observed in Members of the Franklin Expedition" W. Battersby 2008

I discovered t possible causes for the deaths of Franklin and his crew. It wasn't lead that may have tainted the cans. The company that had the canning contract slacked off on their quality control. It seems they didn't cook the preserves properly which may have contained botulism. So they probably left the cans behind. Also, the process they used onboard ship of desalinating the ocean water for drinking used new lead pipes that leached the lead out into the water. Older lead pipes had scales on the pipe linings which slowed down the lead leaching. All the skeletons and hair of the men contained massive amounts of lead when autopsied. So all these doomed men set out across the slow with lead poisoning among other illnesses.
@kirkwilson51172 жыл бұрын
A written record in the Cairns confirming the poor canning and food therein would have been great evidence to find. This expedition seems to have been very light on communication / records.... but if that was not the case then would it truly be the mystery it is today....

Another documentary on the Franklin expedition here on YT called "Arctic Tomb" shoots doubt at the "lead poisoning" theory however - apparently if lead is ingested your body has no problem getting rid of 90% or more of it, and the excess lead found in the bodies was common in people back in those days since they all drank from those same style lead pipes. There's so many more mysteries though about this expedition and things that don't make since that this ultra short documentary barely even TOUCHES on though.

I think that the possibility of at least some of the Franklin expedition being killed by the local Inuit is realistic. It has become a taboo subject and it is politically incorrect to question the lifestyle or motives of indigenous people but one of the Inuit groups who inhabited or visited the area of Prince William Island were the Ukjulingmiut who were being pushed to the extremities of the area by the neighbouring and more aggressive Netsilingmiut. All the Inuit reports of sightings and contact with the Franklin party are from Netsilingmiut oral history, since the Ukjulingmiut died out about 1850 after becoming the victims of famine and inter tribal violence. The Erebus and Terror had 14 Marines on board so it could be presumed that professional soldiers might be needed, for defence, perhaps. It's hard to imagine why soldiers would be on board if violent attack was not a possibility, the only likelyhood being from the Inuit. A number of Franklin party remains have been found on islets, either separated by mud or sea from the main island. These might have made defensive positions. This whole scenario is little spoken of. Perhaps it should be.

@@mosquitobight we do know the terror was later moved, since the Terror was found some 36 miles down the island, south from where erebus was crushed. Erebus's remains are in a horrible state and its believed it was heavily damaged when it sank. The Terror is believed by some to still be sea worthy to this day, if it were to be raised. Theres also the story of them going on deck and being surrounded by men with "black faces" that started chanting 3 words to them over and the man in charge telling them to go down below and that "see those lights over there?" Out on the island "do not go there, those men will hurt you. Do not come back here" Its believed the black faces may have been due to lead poisoning, coal, or they were doing minstrel shows to pass the time. The man who was told this account realized there could only be 1 thing the men were chanting based on what the inuit described "Hip, hip, hooray"

Hmmm, an over-11 minute ad on a video that runs 10:41. Something's out of whack. Or just wacky.

This guy Barrow is in his 80’s.. you say “after decades of “exploring” the 4 corners of the earth…” what do you mean by “exploring”?? Did he actually ATTEND these expeditions or did he just FUND these expeditions??

Whilst I cannot say which is true I did see another analysis of the lead in the bones come up inconclusive as the growth of lead in the bones was not as recent to their death and ascribed to lead plumbing systems used at that time in their normal life and not a toxic result of the tinned food. But I am no expert.
