Sir James Clark Ross and Francis Crozier Adventures in Antartica on TV when?
Come on, it got everything! Love! Amazing seamanship! Bird shooting! Penguins running amok! Sailors vs Icebergs! Bromance! Birdshit Island!
Anyway, I think it should happen.

Lecture : Du bon usage des étoiles - Dominique Fortier

Résumé:
En mai 1845, les navires Terror et Erebus, sous le commandement de Sir John Franklin , un explorateur britannique, quittent l'Angleterre pour découvrir le fameux passage du Nord-Ouest. Francis Crozier est le commandant du Terror, l'adjoint de Franklin. C'est lui le personnage central de ce roman, personnage romanesque peu connu, il est tout le contraire de Franklin. Il est un des rares hommes de l'équipage à s'intéresser à l'autre aux esquimaux, considéré comme des sauvages. Commence alors un nouveau voyage, immobile celui-là, au cœur de la nuit polaire et vers les profondeurs de l'être, dont Francis Crozier, commandant du Terror, rend compte dans son journal. Il se languit aussi de la belle Sophia restée avec sa tante Lady Jane Francklin à Londres, où les thés et les bals se succèdent en un tourbillon de mondanités. Inspiré de la dernière expédition de Franklin, Du bon usage des étoiles offre un tableau foisonnant des lubies de la société victorienne- lesquelles ne sont pas sans rappeler certains des travers de la nôtre - dans un patchwork qui mêle avec bonheur le roman au journal, l'histoire, la poésie, le théâtre, le récit d'aventure, le traité scientifique et la recette d'un plum-pudding réussi.
Mon avis :
Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une lecture rapide et agréable qui permet de retrouver des noms bien connus (Crozier, Franklin, Fitzjames, Little, Gore, Hornby, Goodsir …). J'ai eu l'impression de revoir des vieux amis après des années sans nouvelles.
On suit en parallèle la vie de Crozier et sir John et celle de Sophia et lady Jane. Cependant, l'absence d'intrigue supplémentaire rend le récit assez plat. Surtout en ayant déjà connaissance des évènements, j'avais parfois l'impression de lire un résumé romancé de l'expédition plutôt qu'une oeuvre originale.
Point positif, les personnages féminins sont ENFIN bien écrits et doués d'une véritable personnalité. J'ai pris plaisir à lire les passages sur Sophia qui m'est apparue comme une personne bien plus agréable que celle qui était dépeinte par Simmons. Lady Jane n'est pas en reste et brille par sa ténacité. Ce pan de l'histoire négligé dans Terreur est pour moi l'aspect le plus plaisant du récit. Ah, et l'humour aussi (voir extrait ci-dessous).
De nombreux évènements sont sous-entendus, il y a des allusions aux objets découverts plus tard (un gant laissé à sécher, par exemple) : autant de clin d'oeils aux lecteurs avertis. Il me semble que cet ouvrage s'apprécie davantage si l'on a déjà des connaissances de base sur l'expédition de 1845.
En bref, c'est une lecture complémentaire qui égaiera votre dimanche après-midi.

They made models of Erebus and Terror! And they were inspired by Ross's exploration around Antarctica. I love when people find the Erebus and Terror in normal historic ways and not just The Terror, even though I love that novel and show too. I first knew them as Antarctic ships (and mountains) as well, and I love them.

I would kill someone for the Terror and Erebus cigarette card. I would do horrible things to get my grubby little hands on it.

HMS ‘Erebus’ and ‘Terror’ in the Antarctic by John Wilson Carmichael, painted 1847
#I love maritime art so so much#the little birds in the foreground! the whale surfacing! the way the light reflects on the rough seas! the gorgeous blue of the icebergs!#polar exploration#hms terror#hms erebus#art#also:#the date is a little confusing because it’s painted during the franklin expedition but it’s actually about the ross expedition

Some of my favourite things from my visit to the national archives today!!!


Fitzjames’ drawings on a letter he wrote to Col. Edward Sabine on 3rd June 1845 (click on the left one to see the whole thing)


Signatures of the officers on Erebus (left) and Terror (right) in the muster book


How similar John & Thomas Hartnell’s signatures are 🥹

Hickey’s name in the muster book immediately after Gibson’s


List of the British names of places in the Canadian Arctic with the Inuit counterpart on a map showing a route taken by a rescue ship while looking for the Franklin Expedition (I can’t remember which one)

The Terror 1.02
└ Crozier's journey from The Erebus to The Terror
This was a fun gifset idea I got because I was making other post and made this much more lighter colors than in the original scene, which looks like this:
and it made me think how pretty the ships in the background look with this lighter lighting i made, it seems almost like an impressionist painting, and that made me think of these Ivan Aivazovsky ship paintings, such as these:



so it's just a bit sad this original scene is so dark, because the surrounding with the moonlight and the ice around is just so very pretty!
