follows back from traveling-song
muse activity under the cut:
It's Franklin Expedition day! HMS Erebus and Terror departed Greenhithe, Kent one hundred and seventy-eight years ago today, on 19th May 1845.
The contemporary illustration of the expedition departing in The Illustrated London News:
In the last few days before he sailed, Franklin may have experienced a premonition of his fate. Suffering from the flu, he was resting at home with his wife, Jane, who had just finished sewing a silk Union Jack for him to take. Concerned about his illness, she draped the flag over his legs for warmth. He sprang to his feet: âThereâs a flag thrown over me! Donât you know that they lay the Union Jack over a corpse?â But on Sunday 18 May, the eve of his departure, with his wife and daughter present, the profoundly religious Franklin read Divine Service for the first time to his crews. And when the expedition sailed from the Thames the next morning, carrying 134 officers and men, most felt the Franklin expedition could not fail.
â Owen Beattie and John Geiger, Frozen in Time
180 years today!
Lt. Graham Gore.

fascinating lil behind the scenes article!
"The Terror" season 1, episode 3 created a "psychologically almost surreal vantage point" of death.
âFunny to think of this place as home, isnât it?â

All I could think about while watching The Terror was how Sir John would 110% be the mf that puts severely dated """motivational"" memes from like 2010 in his PowerPoints because he thinks they're funny and hip. He thinks a "one does not simply..." LOTR meme would be enough to boost morale of men dying from scurvy.
More sloop stuff.
Illustrated London News 13 September 1851
On this day the engravings of the Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes were published in The Illustrated London News, seen on the left. On 18 October 1851 a selection was published in Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion (Boston, US), seen on the right. They have all been turned into haunted dolls.
Is anybody else completely fucked up over the fact that even though Crozier sent Blanky outside after getting in that terrible argument where Crozier was definitely wrong, and Blanky ended up narrowly surviving the Tuunbaq, and the fact that he required an amputation because of this encounter is why he is doomed to die by gangrene, and yet, you can tell he's pretty much forgiven Crozier and still loves him more than anything? Blanky nearly killed his captain on a previous expedition and warned Crozier well before Crozier sent him outside that the same could happen to him if circumstances become dire enough. Crozier had no way of knowing the Tuunbaq would attack at that moment, but it still would have been a distinct possibility.
I think on some level Blanky knew that alcohol was enabling Crozier to be a terrible person, but he still seems pretty quick to let bygones be bygones. Though given the circumstances, division and conflict are the last thing they need. They're wise enough to know that.
What absolutely kills me about Blanky's ending, badass though it may be, is that Crozier knows full well that if it weren't for that night when they fought over banishing Silna and abandoning her (with Crozier definitely in the wrong), Blanky would probably have stood a solid chance of survival. If not for the gangrene, he'd be on the much healthier side of the crew, but he has a level of self awareness that a lot of the younger man don't possess. Just one more thing for Crozier to feel overwhelming guilt about. There's such a feeling of being lost that comes with the sturdiest and most capable of your men telling you he's going to die, and how he wants it to happen.
"At least love me enough to admit it" just breaks my heart. Blanky wants to be blithe and irreverent but he knows this is the worst possible time, he knows this will weigh on Crozier, as much as he wishes Crozier could be alright with it. They're at Fitzjames' funeral for god's sake. So Blanky softens the blow with a hug.
Sorry if this is incoherent sshsgdgd I fucking love these guys
