Captain Francis Crozier

The Erebus and Terror, which formed the fleet, had already proved their capacity for withstanding the strain and pressure of the ice floes.

They each carried a crew numbering sixty-seven officers and men, and while Franklin took charge of the Erebus with Captain Fitzjames, the Terror was commanded by Captain Crozier.

The ships were provisioned for three years, and the task set them was to discover and sail through the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.

The intention of the government was to ascertain whether or not this passage existed, and Franklin was instructed to go by Lancaster Sound to Cape Walker, latitude seventy-four degrees north, longitude ninety-eight degrees west, and thence south and west to push through Bering Straits to the other ocean.

The news the last which Sir John Franklin was to hear on earth was perhaps the sweetest he had ever known for it meant that he had triumphed and had won a lasting name and memory for his services to sovereign and state.

On June 11th 1847 his life ended at the moment of his brightest achievement.

Captain Crozier of the Terror assumed command of the expedition and as summer was at hand everything was made ready against the time when the ice would break up.

Ice saws were fixed ready to cut passages through the floes when they began to separate and ice anchors were run out so that the vessels could be walked along whichever opening occurred.

The Erebus and Terror which formed the fleet had already proved their capacity for withstanding the strain and pressure of the ice flows.

Now, because it's told from the point of view of several characters, I'll outline the most important ones.

First, we have Captain Francis Crozier.

He's the main character, if there is a main character.

His is not the only journey we experience, but it's the one with the greatest depth, certainly.

So we're not sure which is the cause or which is caused by the other.

Second is Captain Sir John Franklin, the head of the expedition and the captain of the Erebus.

Unlike Crozier, he's managed to climb socially, but we do get the sense that he's not the most well liked or respected by the Admiralty.

I wonder if he suffers some imposter syndrome, although if this is the case, it's concealed in a veneer of bluster and pomposity.
