In the real expedition, why did the captain die so early? He was the best fed and cared after man there. And why didn't they state state the reason in that letter?
>rawr
He didn’t die early. He lasted years.
>>218217115The toonback killed him, retard
>>218217181I mean the original captain, the guy in the picture.
>>218217115He lasted 2 years according to his grave, but I mean the man was 61. That was a long time to live back in the day, even for a healthy, well fed man.
>>218217279and was it normal for them not to document his cause of death?
>>218217115Older people are more frail. By the time you hit 30, you're on a downward slope. He probably had to "voluntarily" lose his special food privileges due to the circumstances they were in.
>>218217366More like 23.
>>218217157it's an arctodus bear from prehistoryalso fuck all the ppl without an imagination
>>218217115Not enough focus on male on male buttsex. 0/10 watch North Water that's a way better "dudes fucking each other in the arctic" show. Much more rape in that one which is really what we're all here for.
we have no idea how Franklin really died. Franklin expeditions is one of my all time favorite stories. Yes their we're things like Lead poisoning going on but>>218217279 isPretty correct. It was like the 1840s but life expectancy is a bit different. It doesn't mean exactly like he was ancient but yeah tough times.Really. If it wasn't like a sickness like pneumonia which is probably the most likely. >Old man, cold weather, eating rations with lead.Then I am going to have to guess suicide as my second guess. I don't mean to take anything away from him. suicide in their situation was probably a rational move giving what we know now. They were truly doomed. If you want to pick your spirits up. I'd recommend reading Endurance/about shackleton expeditionswhere being trapped in the ice as while but they somehow all survived. One of the greatest human survivor stories. >although it was 1914–1917 so better tech but still fucking amazing
>>218217699saar moment
>>218217196That’s Franklin no? He lasted years, long enough to abandon the ship. We still do not know exactly when he passed but it was awhile.
>>218218158I wouldn't think a religious man would commit suicide
>>218217196>>218218731They left a note indicating his exact death in the cairn at Victory Point.They got stuck in the ice in September 1846.Franklin died in June 1847.So he lasted less than a year once they got stranded.The fact that they didn't indicate his cause of death on the note always seemed kind of weird to me.But I think the most likely cause is his sickness. He was a 61 year old man and the flu is brutal.
>>218217196>>218221076Also of note is that it was mostly officers that died first.I've read theories that the officers were eating more food and succumb to poisoning faster for that reason.The show used this to its advantage by making Tuunbaq target leadership specifically.
>>218217115He wasn't the Admiralty's first choice for the expedition, but as they went down the list men kept bowing out for one reason or another. As other anons have said Franklin was old and past his prime as an arctic explorer, but wanted to go to redeem his reputation which was suffering after a stint as governor of Van Diemen's Land (Tazmania), which is a whole interesting story in itself.I vaguely recall reading that Franklin had to get a doctor to vouch for his health before the Admiralty would sign off on him.
Tuunbaq ain't got shit on Henry Drax! He'll be destroyed, quartered and consumed by end of day if he was there.
>>218217115The real terror was mass immigration, foreign raping gangs and the systematic coverup in the UK.
>>218221076>>218221151That is a strong theory anon. I think it’s solid, it makes perfect sense.
He was old and lived a life of high stress, high danger activities.We dont know why he died, but we lasted a year frozen in before dying
The answer is Jews. Jews always target the leadership first, even with non-targeted vectors. See >>218221076 for instance.
>>218217115>In the real expedition, why did the captain die so early?No refunds.
>>218222223And buggered
>>218223858Buggered is the first step actually
>>218217115He was a a consul of Rome
Is this a good show? Should I watch it?
>>218222289Based quads but entirely irrelevant lmao
>>218225576It's too terrifying for you
>>218225576It's good until they show the Troonback design. It just goes downhill from there.
