The ships’ disappearance was a matter of great interest at the time, with the public supporting Franklin’s wife, Jane, in her search for her husband. Many other ships from both Britain and America went in search of Franklin and his crew, but in the end more men and ships were lost in trying to rescue them. Richard Cyriax has been interested in the Naval Northwest Passage Expedition since childhood, and became an authority on it and John Franklin during his life.
