The Franklin Expedition: DNA Evidence, Polar Forensics, Arctic Shipwreck Discoveries, and the Fate of the Lost 1845 Northwest Passage Crew


Overview

This book is an analysis of the 1845 Franklin Expedition and the application of ancient DNA techniques to identify four previously unidentified crew members from HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. It examines the expedition's preparation, operational timeline, abandonment, and subsequent archaeological investigations, integrating historical records, underwater surveys, Inuit oral traditions, and genetic evidence published in 2024-2025. The book details the vessels' specifications, crew composition, search missions from 1848 onward, site mapping on King William Island and Adelaide Peninsula, shipwreck discoveries, and the resolution of long-standing identification discrepancies through mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA matching with living descendants.
