Show transcript
John Franklin was a British explorer and an admiral in the Navy.
Franklin wanted to find the Northwest Passage, something that no one else had managed to do.
Franklin's ships, the 'Erebus' & the 'Terror', were last seen waiting for ice to clear; none of the 129 crew survived.
In 1859, a note was found that revealed the ships had been abandoned, stuck in ice, and that Franklin was dead.
