EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a relic from the ill-fated Expedition (1845-1848) led by John Franklin, dating back to 1845. The artifact in question is a copper fishing hook intricately crafted with bone, showcasing the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the explorers during that time period.
Discovered in the possession of an Inuit individual from the Adelaide Peninsula during a search expedition in 1878-1879 by Frederick Schwatka, this object serves as a tangible link to the past and offers insight into the interactions between different cultures during exploration missions.
The delicate craftsmanship of this tool reflects not only its practical use for fishing but also highlights the importance of adaptability and survival skills required in harsh environments such as those encountered on expeditions like Franklin's.
Preserved at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this relic stands as a testament to human resilience and curiosity, reminding us of the sacrifices made and challenges faced by early explorers in their quest for discovery.
As we gaze upon this artifact from centuries past, we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and adventure, where every object held significance and told a story of perseverance against all odds.
