Identification of officer from Sir John franklin's Northwest Passage expedition

"Erebus" by Michael Palin (of Monty Python fame) is also worth a read. The Erebus and Terror may be famous for their end, but they should be equally famous for their careers leading up to that point. Palin covers their origins as bomb ships that were built for the Napoleonic wars, their service in the war of 1812 against the U.S., and their resurrection from mothballs as polar exploration vessels. They journeyed to the Antarctic as part of the Ross expedition in between trips to the far North.

It's amazing to think that such storied vessels are still so well preserved that archaeologists hope written materials may soon be recovered from them.

Are you wondering if they recorded how they prepared the dead for eating? My guess would be no, they would probably not record that in any detail.
