With the tradition of adding verses to folk songs in mind...
Betrayed by their country
Eating rotten food of lead
Franklins men left frozen ships
Took to the land instead
They laid for years thereafter
Till slowly each was named
One more final frozen English shame

Happy Eighteen-Forties Friday! Since today my blog is focused on the anniversary of the 1845 Franklin Expedition leaving England, here are a few Franklin resources to enjoy:
The Mariner's Mirror podcast from the Society for Nautical Research: a new episode focused on the search for the Northwest Passage
Arctonauts: an underappreciated treasure trove of digitised primary sources for the Franklin Expedition and other polar explorers. Includes Franklin Expedition muster books and officers' service records!
More primary sources (and new interpretative artwork) for James Fitzjames, by the inimitable @jamesfitzjamesdotcom.

obsessed w amc’s the terror for taking an already gruesome story of death and cannibalism in the arctic and going like. that’s not scary enough. what if those doomed sailors also had to deal with the supernatural. and worse: a horrible twink
#maybe the real northwest passage was the gay cannibal cult we formed along the way#the terror#the terror amc

[Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks. Five miles south of the Canadian border. Twelve miles west of the state line. Never seen so many trees in my life.]

John Shaw Torrington🩵 An attempt at a facial reconstruction.. I did this in 2020 and for some reason was very hesitant/shy(??) about posting it. To be fair, not much “reconstruction” was necessary since he was in remarkable shape at the time of his exhumation (and I assume he still looks fabulous thanks to that good ol’ permafrost treatment🧊).
Now some thoughts… because I’ve never articulated this online before..💭
I’ve had a fixation on him since I was 14 (I’m 29 now) and have attempted many times over the years to draw him in a more…well, alive state..
and I’ll just say it straight up; I think he has a beautiful, ethereal face. I’ve always thought that, even when I was a kid. If he looks that way in death, I can only imagine what that beauty was like when he was among the living. I tried to capture that in this drawing..
Anyway.. I could ramble on…
This, I think, is the most presentable drawing out of all the attempts I’ve done in the 15 years I’ve ‘known’ him— though it certainly won’t be the last. 🩵
I’m planning on doing similar portraits of Hartnell and Braine… I expect Braine will be difficult because he was not in good shape compared to the other Beechey boys..
** I’m overwhelmed by the positive responses this piece got! Tysm everyone!🥲🙏 It really makes me so happy to see JT get so much love— and I’m sure it warms his heart as well 🩵

Inktober 2024 no.24 - “Expedition” 🗺️
🎶 Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage, To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea, Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage, And make a Northwest Passage to the sea🎵
