Why Public Expeditions Fail So Many Times

Jonathan karpoft reckons that five expeditions could claim a share in achieving those goals. The most famous of the public expeditions was led by sir john franklin, who sought the north west passage in 18 forty five. He concludes that public expeditions had more money, larger teams and more and larger ships, but they suffered a higher death rate. They were slow to learn the lessons of experience regarding clothes, diet, shelter and transport. Jonathan karpot points to a range of problems including interference from bureaucrats back home which would never go on the expedition itself.
