[UW Anthropology Society]

The Faculty of Arts presents

a public lecture by Robert Park, Department of Anthropology



*Finding Franklin's Ships and other remnants of the 1845 Northwest Passage
Expedition*

*Thursday, October 9, 5 p.m. *

*Theatre of the Arts, Modern Languages building*



On September 9, 2014, the Prime Minister announced the discovery of one of
Sir John Franklin’s two ships, missing since his expedition sailed into the
Canadian Arctic in 1845. The find was the culmination of a
multi-disciplinary and multi-agency research project that started its work
back in 2008. Since then Robert Park
<https://uwaterloo.ca/anthropology/people-profiles/robert-w-park> has spent
parts of four summers assisting the Government of Nunavut in its land-based
archaeological investigations into the Franklin expedition tragedy, and
just a few weeks ago helped make the find
<https://uwaterloo.ca/stories/waterloo-profs-play-key-role-discovery-franklin-shipwreck>
that led Parks Canada’s underwater archaeologists to the wreck of one of
the ships. In his presentation he will describe what recent archaeological
research has revealed about the lives and deaths of these explorers, and
how this first of Franklin’s ships was finally found.



All are welcome!
