概要

 BLACKOAK: The Ice That Would Not Let Go — What the Sailor Who Found the Franklin Note Couldn't Put DownIn May of 1847, someone stood at a desk inside HMS Terror — beset in Arctic ice for eight months — and wrote an official Admiralty form reporting that all was well. The ships had been locked in pack ice since September. Three men had died over the winter on Beechey Island. But the form was filled in with military precision, properly dated, properly signed, and placed in a cairn on King William Island.In April of 1848, someone stood at the same desk and wrote around the margins of that same form. Twenty-four men dead. Sir John Franklin dead. Ships abandoned. One hundred and five survivors departing for Back River. The handwriting is still formal. The document is still properly dated and signed. The gap between those two entries — eleven months, twenty-four deaths, the transformation of empire's most celebrated expedition into a death march — is written in the white space between two sets of ink.That note was found in 1859 by a search party from the Fox. Samuel Bent, a common sailor on that expedition, was among the men who searched King William Island. He was not there when the cairn was opened. But he was there for the two weeks after. He was there for the boats.In this episode of BLACKOAK: The Adventures, the ancient sentient tankard carries an account received in a Wapping tavern in November of 1859 — from a man who had stood in a boat full of silver plate and loaded guns and books and two men who had been dead for eleven years. Who had understood, standing there, what the silver meant — and why carrying it made the only possible sense to men who were dying. Who had walked the shore and found what the shore had to say about what men do when the other options are gone. And who came back to England and could not put it down with anyone who needed it to mean something specific.Bent needed somewhere that received weight without requiring resolution. He found it.HMS Erebus was located in 2014. HMS Terror in 2016. Both ships are preserved in remarkable condition on the floor of the Arctic Ocean. Drawers closed. Glass intact. The objects 129 men brought from England in 1845 still inside.The ice eventually let go. It was too late for the men. But it let go.BLACKOAK: The Adventures is a historical mystery podcast narrated by an ancient sentient tankard forged from the wreckage of a warship off the Carolina coast. It has spent centuries in rooms where the weight of what happened couldn't be set down anywhere else. Every episode delivers history from the inside. Premium cinematic audio storytelling.

The Franklin Expedition — 129 men aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, dispatched from England in May 1845 to navigate the Northwest Passage — became trapped in pack ice northwest of King William Island in September 1846 and never freed. Sir John Franklin died in June 1847. The ships were abandoned in April 1848 when Captain Francis Crozier led the surviving 105 men south in an attempt to reach the Back River and eventually Hudson's Bay Company posts. None reached safety. The evidence recovered since, including Inuit testimony, skeletal remains, and the archaeological record, indicates the men died of a combination of cold, starvation, scurvy, and lead poisoning from improperly soldered tinned food. Forensic analysis of recovered bones confirmed that some survivors resorted to cannibalism in the final stages.Where were HMS Erebus and HMS Terror found?
