The Franklin Celebration: discovery of relics of the Franklin Expedition, 1895. 'On May 20, 1845, the Franklin Expedition set sail, never to return...The long silence which followed after the departure of Sir John presaged the tragedy which later search revealed...We reproduce an Illustration which appeared in this paper in 1881, by Mr. H. W. Klutschak, the artist of the American Franklin Search Expedition. It was commanded by Lieutenant Schwatka, and traversed the district from the northern shore of Hudson's Bay to Simpson's Strait and thence to the north-western coast of King William's Land. It was on the western shore of King William's Land that various relics of Sir John Franklin's expedition were found. The camp of Captain Crozier contained the obvious grave of Lieutenant Irving, third officer of the Terror. The remains of the young officer were transmitted to Edinburgh, where they were interred'.
