Honourable Mention in the Canadian Nautical Research Society Book Awards
This book documents the history, design, modification, and fitting of HMS Terror, one of the worlds most successful polar exploration vessels. Part historical narrative and part technical design manual, this book provides, for the first time, a complete account of Terrors unique career, as well as an assessment of her sailing abilities in polar conditions, a record of her design specifications, and a full set of accurate plans of her final 1845 configuration. It is an ideal reference for those interested in the Franklin Mystery, in polar exploration, the Royal Navy, and in ship design and modelling.
