Abstract

Abstract: The Franklin expedition of 1845 tried to find the North-West Passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. It disappeared into the ice. A classic example of historical detective work seemed to explain its fate – but is it plausible? Keith Millar, Adrian Bowman and William Battersby reanalyse variation in the evidence and evidence for variation.
