In 1855, a British parliamentary committee concluded that McClure "deserved to be rewarded as the discoverer of a Northwest Passage".
this inuendo probably gave the audience their liveliest moment of what sounds like an abysmal snooze-fest. In the effort, a pickaxe had damaged the wooden lid of his coffin, and the coffin plaque was missing. Although he did confirm the first geographical Northwest Passage that is navigable by ship under ideal conditions, McClure is rarely credited in modern times due to his troubled expedition, his poor personal reputation, the fact that his expedition was after Franklin’s (who has a claim to be the first discoverer, see below) and the fact that he never traversed the strait that he found, instead choosing to portage over Banks Island.Beechey Island graves opened by Owen Beattie's team, bodies examined and found to have suffered from lead poisoning. A genealogy team tracked down Gregory's great-great-great-grandson, Jonathan Gregory, residing in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and confirmed the familial match through DNA testing. In the boat was a large amount of abandoned equipment, including boots, silk handkerchiefs, scented soap, sponges, slippers, hair combs and many books, among them a copy of The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith.

It is highly probable that it was for this reason that the ships were fitted with a unique desalination system which, given the materials in use at the time, would have produced large quantities of water with a very high lead content.

In the visual arts, the loss of Franklin's expedition inspired a number of paintings in both the United States and Britain.Seeking information about the Franklin crew's health and diet, he sent bone samples to the Alberta Soil and Feed Testing Laboratory for trace element analysis and assembled another team to visit King William Island. Crew members then wrote their last letters home, which recorded that Franklin had banned swearing and drunkenness.
Cultural depictions [ edit ] Commemoration [ edit ] Statue of John Franklin in his home town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, England.Identification of the Probable Source of the Lead Poisoning Observed in Members of the Franklin Expedition" (PDF). mg per day over eight months, required to raise the PbB to the level 80 μg/dL at which symptoms of lead poisoning begin to appear in adults and the suggestion that bone lead in adults could be 'swamped' by lead ingested from food over a period of a few months, or even three years, seems scarcely tenable. On 29 October 2009, a special service of thanksgiving was held in the chapel at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, to accompany the rededication of the national monument to Franklin there. Several converged off the east coast of Beechey Island, where the first relics of the expedition were found, including remnants of a winter camp from 1845 to 1846.
