EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed technical drawing showcases the rudder and stern post plan for the iconic ships 'Erebus' (1826) and 'Terror' (1813), which were converted into Arctic exploration vessels in 1845. The meticulous illustration, created with black ink, red ink, blue colourwash, and grey colourwash on paper, provides a scaled view of the two elevations of the ships' components.
The plan includes annotations to highlight the positioning of the screw propeller and replacement chock on both vessels. These modifications were crucial for their role in Captain Sir John Franklin's Northwest Passage Expedition. The conversion process took place at Woolwich Dockyard over several months, transforming these former bomb vessels into sturdy Arctic exploration ships.
As you study this print closely, you can appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into preparing these historic ships for their perilous journey through icy waters towards the North Pole. This artwork not only serves as a technical blueprint but also as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in pursuit of discovery in some of Earth's most challenging environments.
