HMS Erebus and the Franklin Expedition

HMS Erebus was built in 1826 and later became one of the two ships, together with HMS Terror, used in Sir John Franklin's famous 1845 expedition in search of the Northwest Passage.

Erebus and Terror entered the Canadian Arctic, where both ships eventually became trapped in ice. The expedition disappeared, creating one of the most enduring mysteries in the history of Arctic exploration. HMS Erebus has since become an important symbol of 19th-century naval exploration and the Franklin Expedition.
