In the year 1845, two mighty ships set sail into the unknown. The HMS Erebus and HMS Terror embarked on what would become Captain Francis Crozier's final journey. As they ventured through treacherous waters in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, little did they know that their fate was sealed. Onboard these vessels, brave souls sang Auld Lang Syne, bidding farewell to loved ones and embracing the uncertainty that lay ahead. Queen Victoria herself had high hopes for this expedition, as she eagerly awaited news of their triumphant return. Inspired by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's plan for the SS Great Britain, Franklin's crew aimed to conquer uncharted territories with sheer determination. However, nature had other plans in store for them. The Enterprise and Investigator soon found themselves trapped amidst icy barriers near Barrow. Meanwhile, back in Exminster Asylum in Devon, minds were plagued with worry over the safety of those aboard these ill-fated ships. The Block/Felix on Bat depicted scenes of despair and isolation within its haunting walls. Captain Sir John Franklin led his men fearlessly but tragically succumbed to his icy surroundings in 1847. His legacy lives on as a symbol of resilience and exploration despite overwhelming odds. The Lancaster Castle stands tall in Lancashire as a reminder of this historic chapter; it witnessed both hope and heartbreak during Franklin's quest for glory. Though their mission may have ended in tragedy, let us remember those who dared to venture into uncharted waters - forever etched into history as pioneers seeking passage where none had gone before.
