The last thing I saw before twitter broke again.

Once again looking for #FranklinExpedition / #textilehistory / #dresshistory folks on here! Also I WILL make #knittinghistory and #historicalknitting a thing….

Today is the day! In about two hours I'll be out the door, then it's time to load the van, and drive up north with @SteveDeutsch
After three years we're running Erebus, our #larp about the search for the the #franklinexpedition again!
I'm hyped to see how it goes. The first run was great, but some players complained about the fact that we were running it with the acts happening in nonchronological order, basically one giant flashback. We changed this and I'm looking forward to seeing how this affects the game.

From this lighhouse, OTD 1850, one could have seen HMS Enterpriseand HMS Investigator leaving Devonport/Plymouth towards the Polar Sea via Bering Strait, intending to find the lost #FranklinExpedition. Johann August #Miertsching wrote a journal about the "Investigators" who spent 4 winters in polar ice - and we wrote a book about him: https://www.lukasverlag.com/programm/titel/595-weil-ich-ein-inuk-bin.html

#OTD in 1880, Donald Manson - #FranklinSearcher, whaler and harbourmaster - died at home in Peterhead at the grand old age of 88.

Manson served as Master of the Sophia brig, one of William Penny's two #FranklinExpedition search ships in 1850-51.

He also went north three times with Edward Inglefield, in 1852 (on the Isabel) and 1853 and 54 (Phoenix).

This astonishing portrait was taken by Inglefield in 1854.

OTD 1850: #Miertsching begab sich in Devonport an Bord von HMS Investogator. "... Miertschings Englisch war bestenfalls rudimentär: »Comander McClure … nahm mich sehr freundlich auf, setzte mir gleich Wein, Rosinen, Mandeln und Olieven vor, und sagte mir mehreres, was ich aber nicht verstandt.«" (Zitat aus unserem Buch)

How did the history nerd in me miss this article back in December... here's hoping the journal is still readable

Born #OTD in 1821: Lt James Walter Fairholme of #HMSErebus, who was lost with the rest of the #FranklinExpedition.

His family memorialised his life and death with a beautiful monument in Holy Trinity Church in the Scottish Borders town of Melrose.

As my friend D said, "It's not the hand of Franklin, but interesting!"
