Beyond terrific. I didnt want it to end. Bill BrysonDriven by a passion for travel and history and a love of ships and the sea, former Monty Python stalwart and beloved television globetrotter Michael Palin explores the world of HMS Erebus, last seen on an illfated voyage to chart the Northwest Passage.Michael Palin brings the fascinating story of the Erebus and its occupants to life, from its construction as a bomb vessel in 1826 through the flagship years of James Clark Rosss Antarctic expedition and finally to Sir John Franklins quest for the holy grail of navigationa route through the Northwest Passage, where the ship disappeared into the depths of the sea for more than 150 years. It was rediscovered under the arctic waters in 2014.Palin travels across the worldfrom Tasmania to the Falkland Islands and the Canadian Arcticto offer a firsthand account of the terrain and conditions that would have confronted the Erebus and her doomed final crew. 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.
