The Franklin Expedition: What Really Happened to the Lost Crew?

In 1845, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror sailed into the Arctic with 129 men, searching for the Northwest Passage. None of them ever came home. For more than 160 years, even the ships were lost. This is the story of the Franklin Expedition: the silence, the search, the only note ever found, the long walk south, the Inuit testimony that was dismissed for a century, and how divers and DNA scientists are finally giving some of these men their names back.
