A #FranklinExpedition relic with a subtle message of love: my photography of the cotton gloves recovered from Beechey Island by Sherard Osborn with tiny hearts on the palms (from the Death in the Ice exhibit, Alaska). In person the hearts look exquisitely delicate and small.

The 'bombs bursting in air,' which Francis Scott Key immortalized in the US national anthem, were fired upon Fort McHenry in 1814 by ships of the British #RoyalNavy ...including #HMSTerror , later of the #FranklinExpedition . I learn something new every day!

Such a shame to hear that attempts to conclusively ID the #FranklinExpedition skeleton at Greenwich have hit a dead end (so to speak).
I wrote about this a few years back, when exhumations were being discussed. It's a complicated and emotional topic.
Happy birthday 🥳 to Captain #JamesFitzjames of #TheErebus born 27 July 1813 in Rio de Janeiro, lost in 1848 somewhere near King William Island, as part of the #FranklinExpedition & portrayed so excellently by #TobiasMenzies 👏🎉 in #TheTerrorAMC

Here's Jared Harris🎭 and Tobias Menzies striding on set as Crozier is about to deliver his Franklin eulogy. I'm staring wistfully into the sky and Paul Ready and Alistair Petrie are looking suitably sombre. We had a lot of fun on set that day! Budapest was a blast ❤️ #theterror
Help! I signed up for the wrong ship, says HMS Terror officer who wishes to remain anonymous (unless it’s Sir John hyping himself up 😂) Letter extracts dated June-July 1845 from a writer blissfully unaware his unsociable captain is the least of his worries. #FranklinExpedition
Excuse me... RICHARD CROZIER??? 🤨☹️
