| 98 | A well presented 1:20 scale waterline model of H.M.S. Erebus as abandoned in the Arctic during Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to discover the Northwest Passage of 1845-47 modelled by R.A.

Erebus, in company with the nearly identical Terror, was provisioned for three years, including 8,000 tins of meat. Beleaguered by ice in the Victoria Strait in 1846, Franklin died on June 11 1847. The 105 survivors attempted to walk to safety but succumbed to starvation, scurvy and lead poisoning from the tinned food. Subsequent expeditions proved that Franklin had in fact discovered the Northwest Passage, and evidence of the incredible hardships suffered by the crew was confirmed. £300-500 | Nil |
