lushthemagicdragon:Good evening Terrors.I used to work at the National Maritime Museum (it was a nightmare I would like to not recall often) but I went into the library today and took some pictures of my favorite Franklin related document and probably one of my favorite items in the collection? This is a memorial plaque that was made for the missing crews of the Erebus and Terror. It’s massive and I love it so much. It includes their full names, ages, positions in crew, and hometowns. Also includes the three who died at Beechey and the one crew member who went home sick before they made it to the arctic (see if you can spot him). Ya welcome, Terrors xxAnd for you my history children, from your absent parent bringing gifts -- source link
