Good Day!
Yesterday, I came across this fascinating painting.
Perilous Position of HMS 'Terror', Captain Back, in the Arctic Regions in the Summer of 1837 by William Smyth (1799–1877)

"It was his last expedition to find a sea route from Hudson's Bay to the Polar Sea, tracing the coast of the Polar Sea between Repulse Bay and Turnagain Point, the farthest point reached by Franklin on his first overland expedition."

"'Terror' was a bomb, a type of ship which was exceptionally strongly built to fire heavy mortars, and therefore used extensively for exploration in the polar regions, often with extra strengthening."

"She was caught in pack ice at the entrance of Fox Channel, west of Baffin Island, and stranded for 118 days on an ice floe, where she drifted 200 miles taking a severe battering."

Continuing the saga...
