Sir John Franklin's Tomb

Drawing by Danny Aaluk for Louie Kamookak For some, it's even more of an 'Arctic Grail' than Franklin's ships, and with Erebus and Terr...

This is the first time I dared to submit a painting to the watercolor contest of The Artist's Magazine. Please wish me good luck! ^_^

As usual, this is either Erebus or Terror. (At some point I'm going to need a new website or portfolio just for my Franklin related traditional media work, haha...)

Watercolor (Schmincke Horadam) on paper (Hahnemühle Cornwall). The original is A3 sized.

20th May 1845, British Royal Navy officer and explorer Sir John Franklin commanding HMS Erebus and HMS Terror with 134 men aboard, sail from the River Thames in England to navigate and complete the Northwest Passage. The ships are last seen by Europeans three months later in Baffin Bay, whereupon all trace of the men and the ships disappear. From 1853 searches collected artefacts and testimony from local Inuit, to discover what happened to the men and ships. By 1866 it was known that both ships became ice bound and were abandoned. In the 1980’s, remains were discovered on King William's Island, confirming that the crew died from hypothermia, scurvy, starvation, cannibalism, botulism and lead poisoning from the poorly sealed food tins, or the ship's distilled water system. Inuit reports told later searches that the captain of HMS Terror Francis Crozier, and one other member of the expedition were seen between 1852 and 1858. In 2014 the wreck of HMS Erebus was located, alongside HMS Terror in 2016.

“Down sank the baleful crimson sun, The northern light came out, And glared upon the ice-bound ships, And shook its spears about. Sir John, the night is black and long, The hissing wind is bleak, The hard, green ice as strong as death:— I prithee, Captain, speak! The night is neither bright nor short, The singing breeze is cold,— The ice is not so strong as hope, The heart of man is bold!” (from: "A Ballad of Sir John Franklin" by G.H. Boker)
