The Search for Franklin: A 170-Year-Old Mystery

The search began in 1848. In 1854, John Rae heard of the crew's fate by local Inuit; accounts of starvation and cannibalism. These reports, including artifacts, were dismissed by British authorities. For over a century, official search parties largely ignored Inuit knowledge of the events and potential wreck locations. #Canada #FranklinExpedition #Inuit #JohnRae 🇨🇦

There is a connection to the search for the #Franklinexpedition:
Paul Kane wrote in his diary on June 12, 1848: "We arrived at the Paw (sic!) where my old friend, Mr. Hunter, ... gave me a most hearty welcome ... We met here Sir John Richardson and Dr. Rae, en route to Mackenzie River with two canoes in search of Sir John Franklin.“
See also the painting "Brigade of Boats“ (Royal Ontario Museum).
