Founding What’s Lost

 

Lost Ship Found

 

Two ships mysteriously disappeared while on a quest to find a passage through the Canadian Arctic.

 

In May 1845, Sir John Franklin and 128 crew members departed England and sailed into the Arctic on two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. Their plan was to reach the Pacific by navigating through the ice of the Arctic Ocean. Finding a northwest passage would make the transportation of goods to Asia easier and more economical. This journey was known as the Franklin Expedition.

 

In August 1845, the two ships met whaling boats in Baffin Bay. That was the last time Europeans saw them.

 

In 1859, a document found preserved in a stack of rocks on King William Island told the searchers that the ships had gotten caught in ice. All the crew members eventually perished from malnutrition, starvation, lead poisoning, or other illnesses.

 

HMS Erebus Found!In September 2014, a Canadian team, led by Parks Canada, discovered what was later confirmed to be HMS Erebus. Thanks to years of research, surveying, and hard work from scientists, the wreckage was found on the bottom of Wilmot and Crampton Bay in Nunavut. What a find!

But why did it take so long to find the ship? The enormity of the survey area and challenging conditions made it a painstaking search. But perseverance and hare work paid off.

 

CHECK on DECK

The ships of the Franklin Expedition in 1845, and those involved in the 2014 discovery, used cutting-edge technologies of their time.

 

 

 

 

 

1845 EXPEDITION:

Both HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were military ships converted into Arctic exploration vessels Equipped with steam train engines to power a propeller, they also had thick metal plates to protect them from the impact of ice. However, the ships still weren’t strong enough to conquer the Arctic ice.

 

2014 DISCOVERY:

The Parks Canada team used top technology and equipment in the search. High-tech underwater vehicles were used to survey the area, collect data, and capture images. Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) technology was used to spread sound under water to detect objects and help find the shipwreck.

 

 

 

 

 

The Bell Tolls

One of the most symbolic features on a ship is the bell. The ship’s bell from HMS Erebus was used for marking the passage of time. The bell would’ve been struck every half hour, both day and night, to announce the passing of time and to signal a change in work shifts on the vessel.

 

Once the bell was discovered, it was excavated carefully to maintain its condition. Then it was taken to an environmentally controlled and secure location at Parks Canada’s conservation laboratory in Ottawa.

There, the bell was placed in a bath of pure water with the chemistry monitored daily to detect any changes in its condition. A chemical solution was then used to extract salts that would decay the bell. The final stage of treatment consists of a drying process with further cleaning. It could take 18 months before the bell is ready for display.

1. Explain the connections between the Franklin Expedition in 1845 and the Discovery in 2014.

Use information from the text, and your own ideas, to show your thinking.

 

1.          “When we arrived in Canada, the land was just as forbidding as we had heard. I wondered how we would ever clear a path for the railway through the rock and forest. Day after day we felled trees, cleared tunnels, and levelled the rough ground. We used pickaxes and hammers, drills and spades, and we carried them from one site to another for miles each day.“Many workers died in dynamite accidents and rockslides along the way. There was no time to bury them properly because the company was in a hurry. But we felt we had to do something.“So we began cutting a nick into an iron spike every time we lost a crew member. It was a spike just like the others that had been pounded into the ground to hold the tracks down, but it was our way of remembering these men, and this particular spike became very special to us. We even hid it in the gear of our strongest man, Old Fong, to keep it safe.Every night around the campfire, we would take out the spike and chant every name represented on it: ‘Chun Ah-ming, Lei Ah-gun, Wong Ah-jew, Jung Ah-foo, Ho Ah-jeen, Gwan Ah-bong, Lum Ah-bo, Choy Ah-wah, Poon Ah-yee.”By now, Father had wrapped the quilt around me, and we were singing the names over and over when Mother came to check on the noise. She joined in, and then Father made me sing all the names back to him. It was like learning a lullaby.10     
2. “Some men in our crew wanted to stay in Canada to look for work, and others wanted to go home. We decided that whoever was staying should keep the map because they had a better chance of going back to the river to find the spike. But there were neither jobs nor prospects for the Chinese in Canada, and we were worried the map would be lost if we kept it there. We finally pooled our savings and sent a man home to China with the map. I was that man,” said Father.
3. “Our railway work took us far away from that spot. Months later, the paymaster announced that the job was finished. He gave us our pay and said we were on our own. “But the company promised to pay our way back to China,” we said. Still, no one listened.
4. “That night, we borrowed a map from the paymaster, copied it onto a piece of cloth, and marked the spot where Old Fong had fallen. We vowed one day we would return to find it.
5. Then Father continued his story. “One day, while crossing a muddy trail next to a river, Old Fong slipped and fell. The swift waters swept him off. When we found him a mile down river, he was soaking wet and happy to be alive. But the spike was gone.

12. “I didn’t know what a railway was, but still I went. It was the best way to secure a future for you.
13. “When I left you three years ago, there was no work to be had here. Some families went hungry. When we heard that a faraway company was hiring workers to build a railway across a place called Canada, we were excited. We heard it was a land barely disturbed by humans, where rivers rushed with great strength and high mountains protected cougars and bears with forests as far as the eye could see.
14. He was sitting in bed with a quilt around his shoulders. I walked slowly to the bed and sat beside him. He put his arm around me and said, “Son, you are young, but I have important things to tell you. Listen closely, because I can’t repeat myself.
15. I was ten years old when Father returned. He looked thin and tired, and coughed without stop. Right away, Mother sent for a doctor but Father called for me.
16. Born in China, I was mostly raised by my mother because my father worked overseas. When he came home, he gave me an unusual gift that would save a child’s life.

20. He shook the quilt from his shoulders and handed me a small cloth bundle. “Take care of this,” he whispered.15     I hurried to the train station and reached them the next day. Donald was still missing.“Dad, you didn’t have to come,” she said. “There’s nothing you can do.”I showed her my map and where the spike had been lost. My daughter shook her head. “This is nowhere near our picnic spot,” she said.But I insisted on going. Soon I saw the terrain my father had seen: towering mountains, dark forests, and deep rocky ravines.

25. One evening many months later, my daughter called me on the phone, sobbing and choking. Her family had gone to have a picnic by the river, but her little boy Donald had wandered off and hadn’t come back. Now all the townspeople were searching the woods for him.
26. So I did nothing.
27. “so much time has passed since then,” I thought, “how can I ever find that spike?”
28. So I sailed for Canada. It wasn’t easy finding jobs, but I worked at salmon canneries, shingle mills, and vegetable farms. I saved every penny and never took a holiday, except to return to China and get married. I brought my wife to Canada, where we raised a family. And Canada did give us a future. My children grew up and went to university. After World War II, they found good jobs. My daughter moved away to raise her own family in Revelstoke, British Columbia. When I looked for Revelstoke on a map, it was near the river where Old Fong had lost the spike. But by then I was old and shaky, and waled with a limp.
29. Father died soon after. Nine years later, as my mother lay dying, she said, “Son, China has no future for you. You should go abroad to seek a better future, just as your father did so long ago.”
30.  

 

At the river, I shut my eyes and reached far into my memory. And in the strongest voice I could muster, I chanted the names my father had given me long ago. “Chun ah-ming, Lei Ah-gun, Wong Ah-jew, Jung Ah-foo, Ho Ah-jeen, Gwan Ah-bong, Lum Ah-bo, Choy Ah-wah, Poon Ah-yee.”

1. I also shouted, “I didn’t forget you. I remember all your names. No one will ever forget you.”My daughter looked at me with a puzzled frown. “Dad, what are you doing? We’re looking for Donald!”But I kept singing out the names. My daughter became worried, and tried to pull me out of the sun. But I shook her off and waded into the river. I peered into the water and saw rocks and gravel and small fish, but nothing made of iron.Finally I could look no further. Defeated and sad, I headed back to my daughter. Then we heard a small voice calling, “Mommy!”And out of the bushes on the other side of the river stumbled a little boy.30

3. And he held up a battered old spike.
4. We rushed to him and Donald said, “Mommy, this is a good place to drink from the river. And look what I found!”
