An experienced arctic explorer, Franklin In 1845 set out with 2 ships to sail through the Northwest Passage for the British Admiralty. He never returned and the search for Franklin led to much of the mapping of the arctic. Brief written records, relics and human remains were found on King William and Beechey Islands. What about canned goods? In the 1980s University of Alberta researchers conducted autopsies on some crew members preserved in permafrost. (Great picture at >). Cause o death was attributed to lead poisoning, from the solder used to seal the food cans. The story of empire and canned goods must include the fate of Sir John Franklin’s expeditions.
