Episode 2: Frozen in Time: Ghosts of the Arctic and the Mystery of the Franklin Expedition
In 1845, two ships set sail into the Arctic, led by Sir John Franklin, searching for the fabled Northwest Passage. They were never seen again and decades passed before their frozen ships were discovered, locked in ice, with no trace of the crew. What happened to the Franklin Expedition? Was it the ice, starvation, illness—or something more mysterious? In this episode of Ancestor Talk: History’s Mysteries and Genealogical Puzzles, we explore the haunting story of the lost ships, the ghostly remains, and the secrets still hidden beneath the Arctic ice.
