Delving into the research, he describes the intertwined careers of the two men who shared the ships journeys: Ross, the organizational genius who mapped much of the Antarctic coastline and oversaw some of the earliest scientific experiments to be conducted there; and Franklin, who, at the age of sixty and after a checkered career, commanded the ship on its last disastrous venture. Expertly researched and illustrated with maps, photographs, paintings, and engravings, Erebus is an evocative account of two journeys: one successful and forgotten, the other tragic yet unforgettable. 600 10 Franklin, John,|d1786-1847. 610 20 Erebus (Ship) 650 0 Shipwrecks|zCanada, Northern. 651 0 Northwest Passage|xDiscovery and exploration|xBritish. 651 0 Arctic regions|xDiscovery and exploration|xBritish. 651 0 Canada, Northern|xDiscovery and exploration|xBritish.
