SUMMARY:“Mercy Bay: The Victorians and the Arctic”
DESCRIPTION:After Franklin’s expedition disappeared in the Canadian Arctic in 1845, their plight was highlighted in paintings, plays and popular songs. This illustrated lecture draws on the journals of the men who sailed on HMS Investigator five years later in the hope of finding Franklin. In 1851 they did discover the fabled North West Passage, before becoming trapped in Mercy Bay for two more winters. Through their tale, we can explore the Victorian’s desire for Empire and their fascination with the Arctic.\nLecturer:  Suzanne Fagence Cooper\nStudied History at Oxford University and Art History at the Courtauld Institute, and at Christie’s Education.
