The two ships of the Franklin Expedition, and the 130 man crew became beset in the ice north of the artic circle in an attempt to navigate the Northwest Passage. All 130 men died- most in an attempt to walk 900 miles south to Churchill Manitoba, where a Hudson's bay Store was located.

John Franklin- who commanded the expedition, had enough provisions for three years. The evidence seems to point that their canned supplies began spoiling, as well as having a high lead content.

They tried to drag a 23 foot long ships bot- the one pictured- weighing over 1000 lbs,, on a sledge. They often made only 1 mile a day, Eventually, they began to eat the dead.

The evidence suggests that they got as far as Backs Fish River at the north end of the Canadian mainland, before they died from disease and starvation. The natives saw them as late as 1851, still walking south, and dying by dropping in their tracks.

Pretty much. There were a few encounters between the Franklin crew and natives, but the natives feared the English. The Franklin team didn't really ask the natives for advice or help.

One rather harrowing encounter was in 1850, where a group of locals took in a haggard, near-death group of Franklin's crew (and there were several groups, heading both north and south along the west coast of king William Island). The natives took in the whites, and helped them build an igloo. The natives provided some food, but were shocked to see that the english left a corpse stripped of its skin and muscle in the igloo, and didn't eat the natives food.

If you read up on this story, it becomes apparant that some of the groups walking south along King William Island abandoned thier treck, and tried to return to their ships- thinking they were still stuck in the ice 15 miles off of Victory Point. But the ice had thawed after the crews departed, and the ships ended up on the southwest shore of KWI, where they sunk.

One of the boats found near Victory Point was oriented to the last known position of Erebus and Terror.

>>
>>34948430
Active SONARs are transceivers, meaning the transducer that sends out the ping is same one that listens for the echo. Therefore if you're beside a wreck you're see a shadow opposite of the wreck.Imagine it's like a camera in a dark room. The flash sends out photons that illuminate the room and those photons are reflected back at the camera.

Lol, no
To be fair, the justification I've heard given is that the natives food supplies were limited as it was.
Onestory I heard was two native fishermen see a group from the Franklin walking, they go up to them, without saying word, and then throw them a fish.
They walked back to their village, said the men were screaming after them and trying to follow but ultimately failed

Could you imagine being one of those men?

One thing that astounds me when it comes to shipwrecks is how often you hear "All hands drowned" or ridiculously low amount of survivors compared to crew size.

How does that happen? How do hundreds of men just drown or go down like that suddenly? Like christ, the odds of surviving a sinking ship seems to be distressingly low

Getting out has to be a nightmare of pure luck. I think half the people that survive magazine explosions were just thrown from the ship and ended up in the water. 3 people off of the indefatigable survived of a total crew of 1,119.

Outside of a very few special cases, ships capsize when they sink. Usually in an abrupt manner. This means people don't have much time and the window to get out a distress call is very short.
Also with warships, there's the case of magazine explosions.

I think the only people who died on Britannic were those who rushed to lower two lifeboats without orders, and did so as the ship was still moving and they got chopped up by the screws. yikes.
If I had to pick a "scariest" wreck then I'd say Hood since one minute she was there, and the next she was gone. Those aboard her had no clue what happened.

The Hood would have been pretty terrifying to even witness.

One minute the ship is there, damaged but firing away. Then suddenly a huge jet of flame shoots up, at which point the middle of the ship explodes. 3 minutes later she's completely gone. Sank so fast, one of the 3 survivors said that he swam 50 yards after getting out, then turned around to find the ship wasn't even there anymore.

1418 men on board, and responding ships didn't even find bodies.

From Ted Brigg's, who was on the compass platform, the only indications they had that something was wrong were: report that the steering was not responding, a glow from behind them, suddenly they're looking up towards the sky as the front half of the ship rises up, he's in the water and everyone else who was with him is gone.
Briggs himself only lived because something blew up and created a pressure wave that shot him back to the surface.

>>34952785
I remember watching some documentary that said pretty much everything blew up on Hood. They were somewhat expecting to find two fairly intact pieces, but at some point her fore magazine went off as well and the boiler rooms exploded. She's a mess.
Most men were probably dead before they even realized something was wrong and their bodies went down with the ship. Scary stuff that's even more of a wound because everyone aboard knew she was susceptible to a one-hit-knockout like the battlecruisers at Jutland. Had Bismarck's shell hit a few seconds later and Hood would have been in a position to bounce the hit or at least have a penetration in a non-vital spot.

It's also pretty scary that reports note nothing appeared wrong with her steering and engine areas. The guys in the engine room might not have even been aware of the fires on deck or later hits until the middle of the ship suddenly disappeared and their half the ship was underwater.

I hope the boilers exploding killed most of them, it'd have been mercy.

I've read the 4" magazine blew up, at which point the 15" went, after which everything else went off pretty much at once.

I've heard Prinz Eugen set off some secondary/AA gun magazine which started a fire, and then not long after Bismarck scored the killing blow with her main armament. That the two were not some kind of chain reaction.
Whatever happened was clearly disastrous. As said, it was a problem everyone was aware of and Hood was due to have her armor reinforced around the aft magazines (her front magazines were given extra deck armor already). But as most tragedies in history are, shitty luck came into play and so the shell hit the part that was not armored sufficiently.

Key word is could have. Judging by the state of the compartment the note was found in, someone dropped the oxygen tablets into the seawater and the resulting fire asphyxiated any survivors well before supplies ran out.

The Franklin Expedition was a festival of over confidence and poor decisions overall. The Erebus and Terror were fairly well built and engineered for the expedition but they shot themselves in the dick by waiting till nearly the last possible moment to arrange the contract for their canned food supplies. They ended up with severely rushed food with pretty bad lead contamination that fucked over a lot of the crew. Then their steadfast refusal to take any advice from Native populations really screwed them over in the end.

The Koln is technically a sunk ship. The USAAF hit her in Wilhelmshaven in 1945. She hit the bottom of the port. No longer seawirthy there she remained with her crew, who turned her into a artillery battery which stopped several Allied attempts to take the city until after the war.

In death she served,

It the Russian Buran Space Shuttle. It flew once on remote control. An intresting accomplishment in 1988, and something the American Space Shuttle required a cable be mainualy pluged into the flight deck from the crew deck to do in 2011 if they had needed to do it.

I was out kayaking at low tide and found the ribs of a small ship. It's usually not there but the shifting sands exposed it. There's also a D-Day landing craft I can see from the shore that I'm going to check out soon. Lots and lots of shipwrecks around me.

She shut down most of her engines and refused to restart them for her captors, and survived 2 nuclear blasts as a final testament to her quality. She lies as one of the few german warships to make it to the enemies shore, and lies in the tropical sun in all her glory for people to see

Stanier 8F locomotive, one of two at the wreck site of the SS Thistlegorm in the Red Sea. As well as the locomotives the vessel was carrying trucks, bren carriers, motorbikes, small arms, ammunition and boots from Glasgow to Alexandria (via Cape Town) when she was sunk by the German Luftwaffe on the 6th October 1941 with the loss of nine lives.

Different spacecraft. That is Ptichka OK-1K2, it was supposed to become second flight worthy shuttle, 97% complete when program was cancelled. It was moved to another building after the collapse, that building is unstable as well....
