O Lord, grant that I shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, or to be loved as to love with all my heart.

A huge congratulations to Terror Camp 2025 presenter Kaitlyn Gorsalitz @alongblank on her contributions to the recent identification of the remains of FOUR (!!!!) new Franklin Expedition men, as part of Dr. Douglas Stenton's research team.

You can read the full scientific paper here!

And for access to Kaitlyn's presentation “When We Meet Next”: Investigating Franklin Men and Their Families, please email command [@] terror dot camp for last year's TC recordings.

John Gregory, engineer on Erebus, was identified at site NgLj-3 in 2021

James Fitzjames had previously been identified at site NgLj-2 in 2024

Three more sets of remains have been identified.

John Bridgens, steward on Erebus, was found at site NgLj-3. His full name was Henry James Bridgens, and he was probably illiterate.

David Young, ship's boy on Erebus, was found at site NgLj-2. His mandible (jawbone) is the smallest found to date and his wisdom teeth had not yet erupted. Facial reconstruction has yielded this 2D sketch.

William Orren, able seamen on Erebus, has been identified at site NgLj-1. He had at least 8 siblings.

None of these men died alone. There is one more set of remains at site NgLj-3, which is speculated to belong to a young man under the age of 25 due to incomplete epiphysis (growth plate) fusion. They were found alongside a boat which would take 20 men to haul.
