cobaltSaturday morning, third cup of strong coffee. Getting ready for 2 helpers to arrive, the sisters we’ve been lucky to have for 3 years. I have such a list for them (and me too) and as usual, a way too optimistic goal. Yet, better to plan big than too little. They come back tomorrow as well.
Obviously the caffeine kicked in for I was able to read this article/journal about the identification of the bones of some sailors from 2 expedition ships from England to Canada (Nunavut) in 1845. The use of DNA testing and procedures was truly astonishing to me. Combined with genealogy, historical data and previous archaeological studies, just 4 of the 105 or so sailors who died there after the ships were icebound were identified from bones.
Oh my, the horror of 3 years’s survival for these sailors. Yet, what an effort. I did learn a lot this morning and am again grateful I had a good education and both in high school and college so I actually can understand remarkable advances in science. I couldn’t stop reading and past the scientific testing details a history and picture of who these men and their families and descendants are memorable.
