Join us for a fascinating historical journey into the heart of one of the greatest Arctic mysteries—the search for Sir John Franklin and his lost expedition.
William Pullen, great-grandnephew of the Captain of HMS North Star, brings to life the dramatic and often harrowing story of the Belcher Expedition (1852–1854) - the final and largest mission to locate Franklin. Learn about the many efforts to find the missing explorer and gain a rare glimpse into daily life aboard North Star, frozen in Arctic ice for two brutal winters at Beechey Island.
Discover the resilience, hardship, and hope that defined this historic quest. The presentation will be followed by an open Q&A and discussion.
Don’t miss this compelling evening of history, exploration, and Arctic adventure!
Refreshments will be served.
