Thread Name: Concerning Franklin and His Gallant Crew - 1845
Subject: RE: Concerning Franklin and His Gallant Crew - 1845
In Britain, in today's "Times" newspaper, is an article about Sir John Franklin and his ill-fated expedition .It mentions both the food cans AND the ships'water-pipes as being the (possible) cause of the "poisoning " of the crew members . The word "Lord" ,as in the frequent erroneous allusion to Sir John, does not appear. QED.
