The Franklin Expedition: Vanished Into the Ice

<p>In eighteen forty-five, two of Britain's finest ships and a hundred and twenty-nine men sailed to conquer the Northwest Passage. Not one came home. They died slowly — cold, scurvy, starvation, and lead poisoning — and the truth of their final days was told by the Inuit, whom the empire refused to believe for over a century.</p><p>August Mercer follows the doomed voyage, the two-line note that reveals the disaster, and the indigenous knowledge that finally found the lost ships. This is Six Feet of History — five minutes of the past they'd rather you forget.</p><p><em>Follow for a new story every day. A Dark Whisper Studios production.</em></p>
