But disaster struck. Erebus and her sister ship HMS Terror became trapped in the Arctic ice. #HMSErebus #HMSTerror

HMS Erebus: From dockyard to discovery:

https://pdht.org/hms-erebus-from-dockyard-to-discovery/

I've watched several fascinating documentaries about Captain Sir John Franklin’s expedition to cross the Northwest Passage through the Canadian Arctic in 1845.

But disaster struck. Erebus and her sister ship HMS Terror became trapped in the Arctic ice.
