GUEST,Roger. Concerning Franklin and His Gallant Crew - 1845 (202* d) RE: Concerning Franklin and His Gallant Crew - 1845 04 Mar 21


I suppose a lot of us 'folkie types' have been familiar with the story of Franklin due to the song, and like me have looked into the whole tale a little deeper.
I don't think there is much doubt these days about what actually happened, and from a personal point of view I think that these dramatised productions just mislead people and distort history.
I think it is good that the ships have been found, and as an ex Merchant Navy man I hope that they are left in their resting place.
God forbid that they should become a sideshow like the Titanic.
