Show transcript
By the time of John Franklin, navigation by sea had become more advanced.
Seafarers used new inventions like sextants and chronometers to work out where they were.
Larger, stronger ships meant that longer voyages were undertaken by European explorers.
Franklin's expedition used a new type of ship, steamships, fitted with propellers and a heating system.
During their voyage, Franklin's sailors had to endure freezing temperatures.
