For anyone looking for more tales of spooky shenanigans out on the ice, here is an audiobook (which I have not uploaded nor am I affiliated with the uploader *disclaimer*) of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story The Captain of the Polestar. Published in 1883, Doyle may have been inspired by eerie tales of Arctic exploration like the Franklin expedition (or at least I’d like to think so).

The story is set on a whaling ship trapped in the ice and some of the crew have started seeing strange things out on the pack...

“I want an alternate ending where Little and Tozer are the power couple that unites the two camps and gets everyone back to the ships before everything goes to hell.”

For generations, Inuit oral histories told disturbing stories of the 100-plus starving crew members who came ashore an Arctic island like refugees after their ship got stuck in ice.

OMG I’m literally shaking. They included a video in the article filming the inside of the ship (HMS Terror), including Captain Crozier’s quarters. I can only urge you to watch it.

“I want the kinkiest scene where Edward "Worst Kind of Sorry" Little submits to his dom Crozier (and Crozier's other boy Jopson) and it's so good and hot and afterwards he can finally relax.“

“Parts of the book are ridiculous and shitty but it makes me really uncomfortable when everyone just trashes it. The book is where I first got attached to Goodsir and Crozier and without it the series wouldn’t exist.”

“I love all the works in this fandom but I'm so afraid of callout culture but I kudosed a fic before I saw that it was improperly tagged No Archive Warnings Apply and I sent an anon asking for them to please tag for dubious consent/Chose Not To Warn just to be safe and they didn't update tags but they did make it so that no other anon can leave comments and I can't un-kudos but I'm too afraid to confront them openly so essentially I'm morally culpable + extremely rude, probably, and I want to die.”

“So, as a result of watching the Terror, I read 'Erebus' by Michael Palin when it came out. And you know what? I've ended up shipping Crozier and James C Ross as a result. I need to know if anyone else does too, because holy heck, my dudes, there is so much historical content here. My pitch to convert the masses: JCR crossdresses too and he and Crozier led the opening dance of "Antarctic Carnivale" (very romantic). I mean, he's the "handsomest man in the navy". He's basically scottish Fitzjames.”

“I am so delighted for the Terror Book Club to give me an excuse to build my library of esoteric arctic exploration books and horror stories. I can’t wait to have a shelf-full for people to look at and know immediately what kind of niche-dwelling eccentric I am.”

Lieutenant Owen Stanley of the British Royal Navy kept a journal detailing his personal experiences on HMS Terror. The journal has been housed at the University of Toronto’s Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library since 1971.

Stanley was the surveyor on the HMS Terror on an 1836 expedition, nine years before the Northwest passage expedition. A book of his watercolours from the voyage is also kept at the Rare Book Library. These Sketch shows the HMS Terror in the Ice of the Northwest Passage

More of Owen Stanley’s work! Here is either Erebus or Terror being towed by Rattler or Blazer (Owen Stanley was captain of HMS Blazer, accompanying Erebus and Terror to the Arctic in 1845):

A deck view of HMS Blazer:

More detail:

Officers on shore, also from 1845: I think the one on the right looks like our Captain Fitzjames!

More Erebus or Terror (probably with HMS Rattler on the right)

Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful pictures, if you allow I’ll add this from the HMS Terror as she dries the laundry in the Arctic. It’s from the year 1837 where Stanley served as a Lieutenant under Captain Back.

“I find it hilarious that Franklin refers to alcohol as 'knock me down' and now I can't stop picturing Francis passive-agressively hanging out around him in a one-tequila two-tequila three-tequila floor! t shirt.”
