A dive to look for more evidence about the fate of the Franklin expedition has been cancelled. Covid has dashed hopes that vital evidence could be recovered from the sunken wrecks of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, such as the ship’s logs or photographic images likely taken by Fife doctor Harry Goodsir. Harry, who grew up in the East Neuk, was acting assistant surgeon and naturalist on Sir John Franklin’s polar expedition that aimed to seek the fabled Northwest Passage. Terror and Erebus were abandoned in heavy sea ice in 1848 and the 105 men sought a route to safety across the frozen Arctic on foot.

1845 Franklin expedition member identified using DNA A new report has identified crewman of the previously unknown remains found on Nunavut's King William Island in 1993 This skull, known as Cranium 80, was formally documented on the western coast of Nunavut's King William Island in 1993, and was believed to belong to a member of the ill-fated Franklin expedition. Recent DNA testing definitively linked it to crewman John Gregory. (Photo: Andrew Gregg) May 3, 2021 For the first time in more than 170 years, it has finally proven possible to identify the remains of one of the men who sailed with Sir John Franklin to the Arctic in 1845. The work that made this possible has been long in the making; rarely have patience and perseverance been more fittingly rewarded.
THUNDER BAY - On July 9, 1845, Warrant Officer John Gregory, an engineer aboard HMS Erebus, sent a letter from Greenland to his wife Hannah before sailing off with the ill-fated Franklin Expedition into the Canadian Arctic and into an enduring historical mystery. For 176 years that letter was the last Gregory’s descendants had known about his journey, but now they have an ending to his story, as his remains have become the first from the expedition to be identified genetically with the help of researchers at Lakehead University’s Paleo-DNA Lab. “Everybody wants to know what happened. That’s the big question,” said Stephen Fratpietro, technical manager at the Centre for Analytical Services Paleo-DNA Laboratory.
