In the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the most ambitious naval expeditions of all time.
On the first, she ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second, she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian Arctic.
Her fate remained a mystery for over 160 years.
Then, in 2014, she was found.
This is her story.
"Beyond terrific. I didn't want it to end."
Bill Bryson
"Thoroughly absorbs the reader...Carefully researched and well-crafted, it brings the story of a ship vividly to life."
Sunday Times
"[Palin's] narrative is driven by a deep sympathy for explorers and adventurers, while also being illuminated by flashes of gentle wit...It's a fascinating story that he brings full-bloodedly to life, stripping away the barnacles of the past to reveal the hidden history of a ship."
Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Guardian
"With this irresistible and often harrowing account, Michael Palin makes a convincing case that one heroic little ship embodied the golden ago of polar exploration better than any other: HMS Erebus."
John Geiger, co-author of Frozen in Time
"[Written] with a wry enthusiasm, bolstered by his own experiences as an eminent explorer and film-maker...His moving account of the discovery of abandoned items, taken on board as comforts of home by the officers – silver cutlery with their initials indented, scattered on a frozen shore – affected me the most."
Colin Greenwood, Radiohead bassist, Spectator
