James Fitzjames was born on this day, 27 July 1813. 🥳🥳🥳 He didn't really like his birthday, but I'll celebrate by getting myself some cake and continuing to write his biography today. Hooray for Jem.❤️

I went on a little naval/polar expedition around Great Britain. Gave a talk, visited archives, museums & churches. Saw what I call the Love Boat in person.😍 Read my journal with lots of pictures here:

On 19 May 1845, the Franklin Expedition sailed out from Greenhithe to the Arctic. John Barrow got the date wrong by one day, but that's to be forgiven 50 years later. It's still all about Fitzjames for him. 😭

Some of the results 2024 dive season on Erebus and Terror was just announced https://t.co/xwkjNy88IZ

Biggest part of the announcement was that they were shifting from active operations at the sites to monitoring and research on the recovered artifacts.
