HMS Terror

The HMS Terror was a Royal Navy ship which participated in the Franklin expedition along with the HMS Erebus. Commanded by Captain Francis Crozier, Terror became trapped in ice off the western shore of King William Island during the fall of 1846 while attempting to chart the Northwest Passage. The ship was largely evacuated in late 1847 as its position on the ice became increasingly unstable, with all but ten of its crew relocating to Erebus. After the decision to escape on foot was made in spring 1848, Terror was finally abandoned with only a skeleton crew left aboard.
