The Franklin Expedition set sail from England, on the 19th May 1845. As they carried supplies for three years, alarm bells did not start to ring until 1847. In spring 1848 search parties were sent out.

More ships and lives were lost in the search for Franklins expedition than the the original crew of 129 men aboard the Erebus and Terror.
