Lady Franklin and the Lost Expedition

Sir john franklin and his arctic expedition had been gone for over two years. Franklin's wife, lady jane franklin, was beginning to worry. She wrote to another famous arctic explorer,. sir john ross, urging him onward in a rescue mission. Those would be the first rescue expeditions of many, many to follow - often with lady franklin as the motivating force behind them. In 18 forty eight, more than three years after the franklin expedition had departed, ross set out alongside two other expeditions, each approaching from a different angle; they found nothing.
