Today we're joined by Rich Napolitano, host of Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs, to compare the TV series with the real story of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, from the search for the Northwest Passage to the evidence historians have uncovered about the crew’s fate.LinksShipwrecks and Sea DogsLost Franklin Expedition w/NEW UPDATESDr. John RaeThe Terror (TV Series)Chapters0:00 Intro to The Terror2:12 Two Truths and a Lie4:08 Meet Rich Napolitano7:22 The Real Franklin Expedition20:06 Stuck in the Arctic Ice33:42 Food, Disease, and Survival47:41 The Terror’s Supernatural Twist59:18 How the Expedition EndedSupport My WorkJoin the BOATS community: https://links.boatspodcast.com/communityBecome a BOATS Producer (name in credits + ad-free episodes): https://links.boatspodcast.com/producersSupport my sponsors: https://links.boatspodcast.com/advertisersEmail me: [email protected] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
