Learned a fair bit ....it's pretty relevant as the ships were only found in 2019 ...of course the Inuit knew where they were but no one asked them
One kid even took a picture of the mast sticking out but lost the camera so did not not tell anyone.

Size large boondoogle by the Brits and mass murder by the supplier of the tinned food ( lead poisoning combined with scurvy).
The ships were fit, the crew was not, including Franklin who was waaaaay too old for that role.

They actually credit Franklin with the North West Passage as he mapped the last unknown bit. Politicking at play there.
