The book "Ice Ghosts" combines the epic story of the Lost Franklin Expedition of 1845, during which two ships and their crew of 129 were lost in the Arctic ice, with the incredible discovery of the flagship wreck in 2014. Paul Watson, who was on the icebreaker leading the discovery mission, narrates a fast-paced historical adventure: Sir John Franklin and the crews of HMS Erebus and Terror embark on the search for the legendary Northwest Passage, the dangers they encountered, and the reasons that forced them to abandon the ship hundreds of miles away from the nearest settlement, and the decades of searches that exposed rumors of cannibalism and a few scattered documents and bones — until a combination of Inuit tradition and the latest science led to a discovery for the ages.
