The Terror (and the basics of The Franklin Expedition) part 2

[@bareakon]

I could listen to you explaining stuff like this all day.

[@danmorgan3685]

Your fondness for the strange and disturbing plus your offbeat sense of humor really make these videos. Please continue this series and expand it to different historical events.

[@rebeccajohnston-carter315]

I would LOVE more! Not only about the Franklin Expedition but about any sort of history thing you'd want to talk about. I'm working on becoming a History teacher and I love "non-documentary" videos about history/historical topics.

[@DaudROUS]

Yes please more. This is a fascinating subject and you tell it very well.

[@AhoyItsTess]

I'm always interested in tales of expeditions, successful or not and this one in particular is simply fascinating! I'd love to hear more!

[@BlackwingHecate]

Personally, more of you talking about things you are passionate about is always appreciated. Hail Hagan.

[@tabbycat2452]

These are great videos! I love stuff like this. I wouldn't mind at all if this sort of historical tragedy video became a regular thing for the channel. :)

[@jamel7781]

I love these historical rundowns you do, you have a hell of a talent. I look forward to the next one, in the meantime I'm going to watch your Ravenous review!

[@b1merio]

More of these would be appreciated. These videos are very interesting and insightful.

[@Ayellowflash]

This is extremely interesting, I want more! You always find interesting movies to tell us about, it's pretty nice learning something from you that I can actually discuss at work, without getting too many weird looks. Thanks for the video.

[@jacobhexum7017]

more please

[@TheNelsonious]

Really well done, appreciate the thorough explanation leading up to the show. FYI Inuit speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun.

[@natp8387]

You're doing fantastic presenting this! Definitely do more! Hail Hagan!

[@celestialangel666]

I'm always a sucker for history, especially stuff that ends up going from bad to worse. MOAR PLEASE! :D

[@linkeffect82]

This has been very fascinating to listen and watch! I would love to see more of this Diamanda! I'm sure your minions enjoy the change of pace of researching interesting histories instead of blowing each other up. Not that such a pursuit is not noble for your minions of course.

[@GreatBlackPhoenix]

This is equal parts creepy and fascinating. If you've got more, I'd definitely watch.

[@sarahelisheva4167]

Yaaaaay! I researched this myself after your first video, but hearing it in your unique voice just makes it so much more interesting

[@DiamandaHagan]

I'm unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[@jordangreen9201]

You've got me hooked now. More please! (the end never stops being super sad though)

[@wastelock]

This was fascinating and I'd absolutely love more, and any other history videos you might feel inclined to do!

[@AbruptPause_]

Fantastic work here, really enjoyed it.

[@bulaluigi]

I'm watching this after having finished the AMC series (which I hoped you enjoyed DH), and it really is a case of the truth being stranger than fiction

[@adevice]

I'm so down for more of this, I love these videos.

[@thepanpiper7715]

*happy sigh* It's like watching the Bonekicker reviews again! Except not having to deal with Bonekickers to hear you talk about history. Would love to hear more about this/your thoughts on the AMC series. Or weird historical events and their depictions in vaguely supernatural-themed media in general. X

[@bytbyt1183]

Your videos have gotten me very interested in the Franklin Expedition so, yes I would love to see more vids on it

[@tomservo5347]

We can only hope that the excellent condition of 'Terror' in ice cold water with hair in a recovered hairbrush still intact would lead me to hope Captain Crozier's intact work desk in his cabin contains papers detailing exactly what happened. The remote vehicle also found a heavy wooden tripod and box still stowed away-probably the expedition's camera. If paper survived then the copper plates with images of the lost expedition probably have also. It'll be a huge discovery when Parks Canada attempts to recover these. It would be quite the thing as the Inuit claimed to have seen a white man in 1853 that they thought was Crozier. Had Crozier even been rescued I'm sure the Admiralty would have pinned the blame on a common Irishman and his career, and any hope of future commands and way of life would be forever gone. He had nothing to return to and if anyone went 'native' it would have been him. His letter to close friend Ross is heartbreaking to read that he wrote while crossing the Atlantic to Disko Bay. He felt completely alone, didn't have any close friends, was heartbroken by Sophia Cracroft, and probably felt he'd been snubbed by the Admiralty yet again. Yes, he *should* have been in command but the Admiralty didn't want the Northwest Passage discovered by a common born, and Irishman at that. Crozier is a hero in my book of a common man that succeeded through sheer willpower and competence.

[@DokkaChapman]

I'm loving these videos on tragic history! You should do more on different topics. I'd watch the hell out of them. :)

[@davidmaxwell4696]

I'd love to see more, this is honestly quite fascinating

[@kurtdenter1799]

Yes please, more - this is very interesting, I've never heard of this before

[@rodentoftheastrowaste1414]

Sure. Those are great videos. I'd love to hear more.

[@avatar6699]

Please bring us more Real Tales of Woe and Horror!!

[@MusicGeekery]

I'd certainly be interested to hear more, this is amazing stuff.

[@cropathfinder]

I really want to see more this is a departure from your usual content BUT ITS A REALLY DAMN GOOD DEPARTURE!!

[@Skreezilla]

"please sir can i have some more?" always like listening to history from people who have a passion about it! :)

[@0LoggyLoggy]

MORE. MORE. I WANT TO HEAR MORE OF THIS FASCINATING TALE OF HUBRIS TURNED TO TRAGEDY.

[@erikbrock5444]

PART 3! PART 3! PART 3! I love this kind of morbid stuff. I first learned of the Franklin expedition in an Eyewitness book about mummies from my mom's classroom. This voyage and the bodies of Everest are some of my favorite material to pour over when i'm feeling morbid.

[@DiamandaHagan]

Part 3 is going live in a few hrs!

[@thejaff6938]

Yes please, I would love to know more about this.

[@josephcarlisle1943]

I really like these videos, please do more.

[@batman55555100]

Another great video on this topic, and like all good videos it leaves the viewer wanting to know more.

[@Mermanda]

I'd love to hear more, absolutely!

[@UndeadHavoc1]

Oooh, these are fascinating! I'd love to hear more, as well, provided it wouldn't be too much of a bother!

[@DiamandaHagan]

Its plenty of work but lots of fun! Sometimes hard to find images though.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

Yes, more please. I could look it up myself (and I probably will at some point) but it's always more interesting to have it explained by a person.

[@keyofallworlds7549]

Yes please! Oh my gods, you make an awesome history teacher.

[@bryanorourke6898]

Thanks for these. I just finished the terror. Loved it. Now going to read and find out more.

[@EviePontecorvo]

More please! A thousand times more!

[@kaylinevergreen1962]

Please do more of these, I love them

[@JasonChapa]

Just discovered the show and gobbling up these vids like I've gone mad from lead-poisoning!

[@vcdaniels]

Yes! More please! Don't just leave us hanging!

[@TheKingTemplar]

I'd love to see you do more videos on the expidition. Despite how grim the story is, it's still a fascinating one ☺

[@darman12able]

Would love to see more videos on the expedition and even on the terror (when it's out)

[@kimberlyht7024]

I would like to hear more. Thank you for these videos, they're interesting.

[@DiamandaHagan]

I will do some more :)

[@AA-in4so]

Would love to hear more

[@TheCheshireCat2190]

i've watched this recently,very well made but really sad.

[@ninaavins4887]

Anyone else get a sudden vivid mental image of Franklin and Crozier as Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt respectively?

[@BlastAction]

I'd love to know more until the show starts!

[@sensibleGamer]

I'd honestly like to hear more AND your thoughts on The Terror when it comes out.

[@LovlyHorror]

I would watch more of these. :)

[@dewittbourchier7169]

Franklin wasn't a dunderhead. He learned from his first disastrous expedition and in the following two got everyone home and he studied the experiences of his fellows extensively. Franklin also wanted more dried fruits as he was worried about scurvy and wanted non-canned stuff as far as possible to keep the diet of his men varied and reduce the chance of mutiny.

[@samlogsdon]

Would love to hear more!

[@stefanfilipovits21]

You've kinda gotten me hooked on & interested in the story & upcoming show. Will u be covering or reviewing the show by any chance? If not I hope we get more T & E stuff from you. You make a genuinely fascinating subject somehow more interesting. Keep it up!

[@DiamandaHagan]

I hope to do some vlogs for the show with Omega, she's the one who got me into the subject!

[@dewittbourchier7169]

Actually Crozier was the right kind of Christian. He was a Church of Ireland man, and being Irish didn't stop McClintock from getting prestigious commands. I think Crozier's problem is that he was a miserable git. Competent but a miserable git. And a miserable git will not help crew morale in a part of the world that lends itself readily to thoughts of doom and gloom. Furthermore, Franklin was known from both his expeditions to have kept his men going in circumstances where they might otherwise have not. Franklin was also not reckless. He turned back a little early on his second expedition - he wasn't going to risk being stuck in the extreme north of Canada for the winter. So Franklin was perfectly qualified as a commander and a scientist to command the expedition.

[@justincurry636]

I enjoy history please do more

[@Pratchettgaiman]

I'd like to know more, especially about how this led to thawing between the US and the UK

[@timkai]

LOVE to hear more!!

[@violetaisling]

definitely more, thanks!!

[@drawnseeker]

Can you do more historical videoes because you make history come alive and really humanize the sailors and crew.

[@4203105]

Maybe the reverse writing was to confuse historians. That sounds like something I would do if I knew I was going on a notable way.

[@ConclusiveConfusion]

More Hagan does tragic/ mysterious history? Yes please.

[@jordanhaggett849]

More please.

[@bambiwatsonart]

Great video, thank you sm! Could someone please type/explain the sentence at 09:55? About Fitzjames "getting" something.. I can't make out what that is :(

[@DiamandaHagan]

He got the year wrong, twice.

[@bambiwatsonart]

@@DiamandaHagan thanks a lot!! And once again thank you for this work :)

[@LtHavoc1983]

After your first video on that subject matter, I watched 2 documentaries that dealt with Franklin Expedition that went into great detail to explain all of it and what we know about it so far. One thing that I am still baffled at is that, to this day there are people who say the Inuit killed and ate the Crew and thats so typical of primitives, I was disgusted to see this pompus British guy (forgot the name) of some Historical Society to explain how it could only be the Inuit that killed the Franklin Expedition because European men from Civilization would never succumb to cannibalism and would murder each other. Thankfully, the narrator and then several Scientists who have studied and researched Inuit culture said that this is utter bullshit because the Inuit are not cannibals and would only have attacked the Expedition if the Crew members would have threatened them, something that did not happen from all accounts, not to mention that the knife marks found on the bones where not from any weapons the Inuit had. This whole myth about the Inuit killing the Franklin crew led to the British treating them even more poorly then they already did and for decades after that, the Inuit where vilified in British society for no reason then saving face.

[@LtHavoc1983]

That is what I was saying and that Brit was not a historian, he was just part of some Preservation Society trying to protect Franklins good name or something. I have to re-watch that documentary to see who that bloke is again.

[@LtHavoc1983]

Well, I rewatched the Documentary called "The Lost Franklin Expedition" and there was this historian called Earnest Coleman who was talking about how the knife marks could only be from an attack by the Inuit and that its impossible that the highly moral Franklin Crew became cannibals.

[@Swarm509]

Watching this after just binge watching The Terror, and holy crap did they get the details right. I mean yes giant demon monster and liberties taken.... but wow a lot of little details that only people who have researched the expedition would catch. Honestly this show may be up with Rome for me at this point.

[@trinepedersen323]

Yes, we want more, please.

[@rakaman27]

"This mothefucker had balls of steel."-the Crozier monument.

[@dominicfitch7951]

You mentioned that Sophia Cracroft sent letters addressed to Crozier aboard the rescue searches, I was wondering what your source was for this? Try as I might I've never been able to find the letters in any archive nor mention of even their existence anywhere than here.

[@DiamandaHagan]

I honestly can't remember.

[@dominicfitch7951]

@@DiamandaHagan my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined... Just kidding. Thanks for the reply, fair enough it was 3 and half years ago - if you happen to suddenly remember I'd appreciate hearing about it, til then I shall continue the good search!

[@wess9900]

yes, more please!

[@jtclark509]

More! This is awesome.

[@TheNthDoctor1982]

Absolutely! More!

[@fpvbirdseye]

Just noticed that white space on a poster looks like polar ~bear~ standing on his feet. Look 0:08

[@harrypothead42024]

Great video, thanks for it.

[@ginoc44]

AFAIK, at that time only commissioned officers received half pay when not on active service. Everyone else got nothing.

[@93MANIAC]

Are you interested in making a video about the Danish-Norwegian explorer Jens Munk who lead an expedition to find the Northwest Passage for King Christian IV in 1619 over 200 years before the Franklin Expedition

[@DiamandaHagan]

I don't know about him, but I'm interested in learning some more!

[@BlastAction]

So, will you be doing an episodic review once the series starts?

[@CplAnguadaEarth]

I'm super interested in as much as you want to talk about.

[@springtime1838]

more on the Franklin Expedition pleas

[@DiamandaHagan]

More coming!

[@springtime1838]

Thanks

[@GrubStLodger]

Are you getting to London for the Franklin exhibition at the maritime?

[@DiamandaHagan]

That's the plan!

[@yamato0965]

Saw the display at Westminster - very moving.

[@annethropophagy]

Yes please.

[@ah5308]

I wonder how many times they tried to find the "ships cat" behind the stowage?

[@shmeeproductions8382]

7:57 I couldn’t stop laughing at that

[@fourthdrawerdown6297]

Yeah. It’s just like a comedy sketch apart from all the death,madness and cannibalism.

[@Lazysupermutant]

OH GOD MORE

[@squamish4244]

"A big-budget reboot." You are hilarious.

[@SsnakeBite]

I want more, but I'd rather it be in the videos than in the comments.

[@DrZombieMoogle]

MOAR PLZ

[@tonymarshall3978]

I love this and want more but I'm also interested too know what they do in the book as I can't find a copy in my village I want too know your opinion on how they treat the true story

[@MrChickennugget360]

its different. interesting in how they interpret evidence but adds a lot of non-historical plot to the story.

[@ninurtathricemajestic7179]

I love this mysterious mind binding shit. Sailors must have been in another reality with the lead poisoning

[@raelynnjones2305]

It's probably obvious but are you Irish?

[@twslegendary]

What denomination was Crozier a part of?

[@DiamandaHagan]

One of the non-Anglican kinds of Protestant.

[@patricksharpe1148]

I want more.

[@jtclark509]

Yes. More

[@mbcallmeburger]

More would be awesome
