Thread Name: Lyr Req: Franklin
Subject: RE: Franklin
Doerflinger has a couple nice versions & another nice version is in Palmer's. Palmer also has a version of the "Bold Adventurers of Captain Ross" the same Capt. Ross that led a rescue exp. for Franklin. I don't get it Ross had also been 3 years caught in the ICE, common occurence for those afflicted with severe Brain Freeze. 39 voyages had been launched to find Franklin, whose knows how many went after the Northwest Passage. Did these guys ever come home to puppy? Any excuse & bing-a-bang out the door & long gone for the sunny crystal blue frozen diamond hard pinpoint polar bear loving Club Med North & only a wee pot stove that just sank with the ship to beat off the unbareable heat. I can see how the seals leapt from the ice flows as the ship appeared over the horizon to greet the weary sailors with a bark & some vigorous sexy hand clapping something every mother's son strives for. Oh I missed something it may have been a macho way to get a song made after you, the price some people pay for fame, go figure. Barry
