Why did Franklin lead that fateful expedition into the Arctic? | Death in the Ice

In 1845 Franklin and 128 crewmen sailed from England in search of the North-West Passage through the Arctic. The men and their two ships, Erebus and Terror, would never return. Why was Franklin chosen to lead the expedition? He was 59 when the expedition set sail from Greenhithe in Kent and had been 'out of action' in terms of Arctic exploration for some time. He was however a popular figure and a leading magnetic scientist. That Franklin brought his two ships to Magnetic North was an unprecedented feat of navigational skill. However disaster would strike when the crew were forced to abandon the ships after they had become stuck in the ice. All 129 men would perish in what has become an enduring mystery. One which we are only now starting to unravel. In 2014 the wreck of HMS Erebus was discovered under the Arctic ice, followed by the discovery of HMS Terror in 2016. The Death In The Ice exhibition at London's National Maritime Museum displays items recovered from the ships - many on display for the first time. These items along with other art, artefacts and curiosities help to piece together the story of Franklin and his lost men. Until January 2017.
