Crystal Vision - Young Alan M

On 19th May 1845, Sir John Franklin set sail on a three year expedition to find the North West Passage, a hoped for gateway through the Arctic, linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. The two ships, Erebus and Terror, were subsequently lost without trace, along with their crews.

Crystal Vision is a fictional interpretation of their historic, yet tragic story. It is one of ambition, greed, cruelty and revenge, inextricably linked with endeavour, friendship, compassion and a will to survive the severest physical and mental traumas known to man, in seemingly impossible circumstances.

Truly, ‘Men are the Souls of Ships’
