EREBUS AND TERROR Erebus and Terror The Story �" From Wikipedia Erebus and Terror were both outfitted with 20hp steam engines, and iron plating added to the hulls, for a voyage to the Arctic, with Sir John Franklin in overall command of the expedition in Erebus, and Terror under the command of Crozier. Their expedition was to gather magnetic data in the Canadian Arctic, not to find the Northwest Passage, which is a common misconception. The ships were last seen entering Baffin Bay in August 1845. The disappearance of the Franklin expedition set off a massive search effort in the Arctic. The ships' fate were revealed in a series of expeditions into the Arctic between 1848 and 1866 when it was discovered that both ships had become icebound and were abandoned by their crews. Subsequent expeditions up until the late 1980s, including autopsies on crew members, revealed a horrible story. It appears tainted rations (from the lead solder on food tins) drove the crew insane and led to several deaths from lead poisoning. Subsequently after two years trapped in the ice, with the men suffering from scurvy, the surviving crew attempted to march to safety in Canada. Along the way they began devouring each other until two crew members remained. Unable to go further, they perished and were discovered skeletonized in a rowboat they were using as a sled. None of the members of the Franklin expedition are thought to have survived, although it has never been proven that none escaped.
