Erebus: The Story of a Ship

Winner of the 2017 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award`s Outstanding Contribution to Travel WritingIn the early years of Queen Victoria`s reign, HMS Erebus undertook two of the most ambitious naval expeditions of all time. On the first, she ventured further south than any human had ever been. On the second, she vanished with her 129-strong crew in the wastes of the Canadian Arctic. Her fate remained a mystery for over 160 years. Then, in 2014, she was found. This is her story. BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week”Beyond terrific… I didn`t want it to end.” Bill Bryson “Illuminated by flashes of gentle wit… It`s a fascinating story that [Palin] brings full-bloodedly to life.” Guardian “This is an incredible book… The Erebus story is the Arctic epic we`ve all been waiting for.” Nicholas Crane”Magisterial… Brings energy, wit and humanity to a story that has never ceased to tantalise people since the 1840s.” The Times
