This map contains public domain geo data from Natural Earth (Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com.)
This map is inspired by File:Franklin's-Lost-Expedition.png and builds upon it. Especially the route around Cornwallis Island is corrected to be happening before the wintering on Beechey Island and the position of the last sighting is added.
