clove-pinks2: ltwilliammowett: iceboundterror: ltwilliammowett: Lieutenant Owen Stanley of the British Royal Navy kept a journal detailing his personal experiences on HMS Terror. The journal has been housed at the University of Toronto’s Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library since 1971. Stanley was the surveyor on the HMS Terror on an 1836 expedition, nine years before the Northwest passage expedition. A book of his watercolours from the voyage is also kept at the Rare Book Library. These Sketch shows the HMS Terror in the Ice of the Northwest Passage More of Owen Stanley’s work! Here is either Erebus or Terror being towed by Rattler or Blazer (Owen Stanley was captain of HMS Blazer, accompanying Erebus and Terror to the Arctic in 1845): A deck view of HMS Blazer: More detail: Officers on shore, also from 1845: I think the one on the right looks like our Captain Fitzjames! More Erebus or Terror (probably with HMS Rattler on the right) Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful pictures, if you allow I’ll add this from the HMS Terror as she dries the laundry in the Arctic. It’s from the year 1837 where Stanley served as a Lieutenant under Captain Back. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR OWEN STANLEY SKETCHES!! I have seen his sketch of officers from 1845 but forgot the attribution! And it turns out Owen Stanley is the artist behind these sketches used in the “Death in the Ice” Franklin expedition exhibit! -- source link
