Summary
When word from the Franklin Expedition is not heard by January of 1848, Sir John Barrow approves a single expedition, consisting of sixty-four men, on a single ship; HMS Edinburgh. The same class as HMS Terror; she is heavy, slow, and terrible for the Arctic.
Commanded by a well-meaning incompetent who has never held an active command, chosen purely because of convenience, the expedition meets some of the same horrors that met Franklin and seems destined to suffer the same fate as the expedition they were meant to rescue. Can the crew find Franklin and save themselves at the same time?
Mostly original characters. I will not be including Tuunbaq and most of the details of The Terror will be omitted for the more likely real version of what happened to the men. Regardless, It will be similar to The Terror in atmosphere (hopefully) and include the personality of the characters I do include, so I hope you enjoy.
