HMS EREBUS and HMS TERROR.
Hunt for the Arctic Ghost Ship.
This was a program o Channel 4 TV last night. I taped it and just watched it. If it comes on again please try and watch it. Its the true story of 2 British ships in 1845 trying to find a route through the North West Passage. Both ships were lost and it shows the conditions the crew were subjected to, three consecutive winters they were locked into the ice. The Erebus was found by a Canadian research in 2014. Its very interesting I can assure you.

Re: HMS EREBUS and HMS TERROR.
I think it was Clive Cussler who wove a great story arround the disappearance of these ships. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the book.

Re: HMS EREBUS and HMS TERROR.
I'm sure I've seen this or a very similar program a few years ago, because I've seen those mummified bodies before but
it's only a vague memory, the bodies is one of those things that stays with you. cheers John F
