Sharing bits of Canada 'eh🇨🇦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 🇨🇦
