• For years following the Franklin disappearance, countless search parties set out to find the crew.

• A 1982 Globe and Mail article explained that these 19th-century searches for Franklin and his crew had some unexpected results: "The search for Franklin filled in most of the remaining blank spots on the map of the Arctic. It also filled considerable space on library shelves, as the more literate members of the various crews kept journals which were later published to meet insatiable public appetite."



• Analysis of remains found in the 1980s and 90s suggested cannibalism among the crew.

• Theories on what exactly happened on the Franklin expedition continue to unfold, but in 2014 HMS Erebus was discovered under the ice, followed by the discovery of HMS Terror in 2016 - in Terror Bay.
