Description - Erebus: The Story of a Ship by Michael Palin

Michael Palin brings to life one of the greatest adventures of all time

_______________
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER- the remarkable true story of the exploration ship featured in The Terror

In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the most ambitious naval expeditions of all time.

On the first, she ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second, she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian Arctic, along with the HMS Terror.

Her fate remained a mystery for over 160 years.

Then, in 2014, she was found.

This is her story.
