Erebus and Terror National Historic Site of Canada

Erebus and Terror National Historic Site of Canada

Erebus Bay, Nunavut

Erebus and Terror National Historic Site of Canada is located in Erebus Bay, near King William Island, Nunavut. The site, in what is now the Canadian Arctic, comprises the remains of two 19th-century three-masted, wooden vessels, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. Manned by Captain Sir John Franklin and his crew during an attempt to navigate and map a Northwest Passage through the Arctic, both vessels were eventually trapped and wrecked by pack ice. Official recognition refers to the 200-metre radius around the hull of each ship.
