We have introduced a new kit from Occre in our page HMS Terror Ship Model. More historical information about the fate of this ship we also published in the article HMS Erebus and HMS Terror ships and mysterious expedition.
In order ship builders can better imagine of Franklin's expedition events with HMS Erebus and HMS Terror ships, VSM team visited an extraordinary exhibition at the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, Canada. Here we are publishing some photos showing exhibits related to Franklin's expedition and later findings of both lost ships.
