In May 1845 Sir John Franklin set off on his third Arctic expedition with two Royal Navy vessels, Erebus and Terror, and 129 men. After being spotted by a whaling ship in Lancaster Sound in July 1845, they were never seen again.
The search for the Franklin expedition began in 1848, and grew to be one of the largest and most costly search and rescue operations in history.
